What is critical pressure of diesel fuel?
18.6 ATM for diesel UDER ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE.
Is a fuel filter more critical n a diesel engine or gasoline?
Diesel contains more impurities compared to gasolene.Therefore fuel filter is more critical in a diesel engine
Does diesel burn or explode?
Diesel burns when in an open container, it is not as volatile as gasoline. If you flick a match into diesel fuel, it will typically go out unless it is hot enough to vaporize due to the temperature. In a diesel engine, the fuel explodes when it gets to the right temperature, caused by pressure.
What is the minimum temperature in a diesel engine cylinder for the fuel to ignite?
35 c
Can regular engines run on diesel fuel?
Gasoline engines cannot run on diesel. Only a diesel engine can run diesel. And a diesel engine cannot run on gasoline.
Why Can you not convert diesel fuel to regular unleaded gas?
Diesel fuel has different chemical and physical characteristics than regular petrol. It is fractioned at a higher temperature and has a higher flashpoint.
How much does diesel fuel expand in volume in relation to ambient temperature?
one third
Fire point of diesel?
As low as 126 degrees Fahrenheit, diesel fuel could potentially catch on fire. This is known as the temperature of ignition.
What is the hydrometer density of diesel fuel reading?
0.84 @20 deg C, but can vary with temperature.
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Is a gasoline-diesel fuel a good mixture to get more power from a diesel engine?
not at all. that will cause engine damage. gasoline burns at a much lower temperature than diesel fuel so you will get pre ignition. diesel fuel has more useable power in than gasoline. gasoline is rated in octane and diesel fuel is rated in cetane. with diesel fuel the higher the cetane the faster the fuel will burn for a more complete combustion. so if you want more power from a diesel a place to start is a higher cetane diesel fuel. but things like bigger trubos, vgt turbos, injectors, intercoolers have a much bigger effect on power than fuel
Where does the word diesel come from?
'Diesel' comes the German engineer, Rudoplf Diesel. Diesel invented an internal combustion engine that would auto ignite, when the fuel vapours were compressed to a high degree. This increased the temperature of the vapour to the point were it would auto ignite. The fuel that he used was slightly different from petrol, which needed an electrical spark to ignite. This slightly different fuel is now known as 'Diesel'.
