without air, you cannot have combustion
4 cycle engines mix gasoline with air to operate efficiently.
Stabil is added to gasoline in small air cooled engines to reduce heat that builds up.
Zeppelins were powered by multiple engines, typically internal combustion engines, such as large petrol (gasoline) engines. These engines provided the necessary thrust to propel the Zeppelin through the air.
A 4-cycle engine will mix gasoline with air during the intake stroke at aprox 14.7 (air) to 1 (gasoline) ratio.

Airplanes utilize either internal combustion engines, which mix air and gasoline for their power, or, they have jet engines that cram air into the engines, and spray kerosene into the air flow. Space shuttles have rocket engines. The take their air with them. Well, oxygen, actually.
Gas engines use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and diesel engines use high cylinder compression to ignite the fuel air mixture. Other than that they are similar. <><><> Diesel engines ignite the fuel by using high compression: as the engine compresses the air inside the combustion chamber, it reaches around 1000 degrees, at which point diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, and it ignites. Gasoline engines use the sparks from spark plugs to ignite the gasoline/air mixture in the engines' combustion chambers after it has been compressed. Because separate sparks are used the amount of compression required in a gasoline engine is a lot less than would be necessary in a diesel engine. The main reason diesel engines are heavier and more expensive to make than gasoline engines is because, to be able to withstand the much higher compression, diesel engines have to be made much stronger by having thicker cylinder walls, compression chambers, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, etc.
Chalwyn valves are primarily designed for applications involving flammable gases and are commonly used in diesel engines and other heavy machinery to prevent backfire and explosions. In gasoline engines, the combustion process and fuel characteristics differ significantly, and the risk of backfire is typically managed through other means, such as ignition timing and fuel-air mixture control. Additionally, gasoline engines operate at lower compression ratios, making the added complexity of a chalwyn valve unnecessary. This makes chalwyn valves less suitable for gasoline engine applications.
Small gasoline engines generally use a mixture of gasoline and oil for lubrication, which helps reduce friction and wear on engine components. These engines typically operate on a two-stroke or four-stroke cycle, with two-stroke engines often requiring a specific oil-to-gas ratio. Additionally, they rely on a spark plug for ignition and a carburetor or fuel injection system to mix fuel and air for combustion. Common applications include lawn mowers, chainsaws, and other outdoor power equipment.
No, a gasoline engine cannot operate in outer space because it requires oxygen to combust the fuel. In the vacuum of space, there is no air for combustion to occur, so the engine would not work.
Combustion chamber
The intake valve was created to let fluid or air run through it. Intake valves are commonly found in automobile engines where they allow gasoline and air into the engines cylinders.
