What different greasy liquids are put into cars?
Fuel Diesel fuel
Why petrol cannot be used in diesel engine?
Two main differences: The fuel intake system is different and the firing mechanism is different. First, Petrol engines fire using spark plugs instead of heat and compression, and they might not get the diesel fuel to ignite fully if the compression is too low. Second, Diesel fuel has different viscosity, different volatility, different cleanliness standards, and different air/fuel ratios, so the fuel injection system has to have different design features.
What is the standard diameter of a diesel fuel dispenser nozzle?

Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
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'.
Weight of diesel fuel?
A typical value of Diesel fuel density is 0,832 g/cm3.But must be mentioned that the density may be different for each refinery.
Can you change from diesel fuel to regular fuel on a diesel truck?
No, you cannot put regular fuel into a diesel engine, because the two fuels burn at different temperatures. You can try cleaning your engine, they make products to remove buildup, and this will help your mileage.
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.
Is diesel a bio fuel?
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
Is it legal to swap from gas to diesel?
You cannot burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine period. A gasoline engine will not run on diesel. So legality is a mute point. A gasoline engine and diesel engine are totally different in design and the way fuel is burned. The fuels are not interchangeable.
Why does a diesel engine use a different type of fuel?
Diesel engines do not require "ignition" to burn diesel fuel--it is powered by the "heat of compression" therefore diesel fuel has a much higher "flash point" than gasoline. If you were to put gasoline in a diesel engine you would probably blow the heads off the engine. Due to lower "flash point" (temperature when fuel ignites). If you were to put diesel fuel in a gasoline powered engine, it would not ignite and engine will not start. Due to higher "flash point).
Can I used unleaded fuel in a diesel van?
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.
