What is the color of petrol and diesel in petrol station?
petrol light brown, diesel light green
How can you separate petrol and diesel from crude oil?
Fractional distillation. Petrol and diesel evaporate at different temperatures.
What is a hydrocarbon other than gasoline or kerosene?
petrol,LPG,natural gas,diesel petrol,LPG,natural gas,diesel,CNG petrol,LPG,natural gas,diesel,CNG
Who has the lowest boiling point fraction petrol or diesel?
Petrol, i guess because it has a lower boiling point than diesel
What is equilibrium vapor pressure?
It is vapor molecules in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed system exert a pressure proportional to the concentration of molecules in the vapor state.
What is the diesel reid vapour pressure?
2 kpa
Is it possible to use petrol in diesel and diesel in petrol engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
Why compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
Why do you need to bleed a diesel?
Diesel engines work in a different way to petrol in that they work on pressure to ignite warm diesel as opposed to petrol engines which have spark plugs. in order to work, there can be no air, air wont ignite!!
Why cant you use petrol and diesel together?
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
What is the color of petrol and diesel in petrol station?
petrol light brown, diesel light green
Is it possible to use petrol and diesel as fuel in same engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
What is diesel and petrol used for?
diesel and petrol are source which is used to generate power.
Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
What if you accidentally put diesel fuel in your car instead of petrol?
Depending on the mix (how much petrol vs how much diesel), the car will either not go at all, or may go but feel jerky. It is obviously not recommended to put ANY diesel in a petrol engine, simply because of the way a petrol engine works vs how a diesel engine works. In a petrol engine, the fuel is made to combust only with a spark, and therefore requires a much higher pressure for combustion to take place. The higher the octane of the fuel, the more pressure is needed for the fuel to combust. A diesel engine works in the opposite way, where it needs less pressure and no spark to combust. If you have accidentally put diesel in a petrol engine, don't drive the car. Drain the fuel. You may have to replace to fuel filter and the spark pugs Comment: To clarify the above logic. CAUTION!! Diesel engines have compression ratios of 15:1 or more so that PRESSURE (not spark) ignites the fuel. Petrol engines use SPARK to ignite the fuel. The high octane rating of petrol is so that it does not PRE-IGNITE (pink) under pressure. Raise the compression ratio and you need a higher octane rating, which is why some petrolheads use Avgas (130 octane) on their high performance engines. Diesel engines need HIGH pressure to operate, petrol engines can use LOWER pressure to work, but need higher octane rated fuel if the pressure rises.
How do you tell petrol from diesel in a can?
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
