What makes you think Diesel fuel is not important? It is extremely important to the trucking & construction industry and anyone driving a diesel fueled vehicle.
The critical temperature of diesel fuel is typically around 400-450 degrees Celsius. Above this temperature, diesel fuel can vaporize and pose a serious fire hazard. It is important to handle and store diesel fuel carefully to prevent accidents.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Yes, you can store diesel fuel in a home tank. It will be important that you store it in a tank designed to hold diesel fuel and that it is stored outside in a location that will not create hazardous or safety concerns. You also need to maintain the tank and the fuel properly.
No. Diesel engines are a bit more efficient, but not enough to be hugely important.
Not yet, nor is it important.
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
Yes, it is possible to use diesel fuel as a substitute for home heating oil. Diesel fuel is similar to heating oil and can be used in some heating systems. However, it is important to check with the manufacturer of your heating system to ensure compatibility and to follow any guidelines for using diesel fuel as a substitute.
It should be listed on the pump. Generally speaking, diesel fuel ignition quality is not measured in octanes, as these are a unit for gasoline. Diesel fuel is measured in cetane not octane.Regular diesel--48Premium diesel--55Biodiesel (B100)--55Biodiesel blend (B20)--50Synthetic diesel--55A label should be affixed to the pump that states both the fuel type and cetane number. It's important to find a station that dispenses fuel of the cetane number recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
No, gazole diesel is not the same as regular diesel fuel. Gazole diesel is a type of diesel fuel commonly used in Europe, while regular diesel fuel is the standard type of diesel used in the United States. They may have slightly different chemical compositions and properties.
The viscosity of No. 2 diesel fuel at -20°F is typically around 4.0-6.0 cSt (centistokes). However, it's important to note that the exact viscosity can vary depending on the specific blend and composition of the diesel fuel.
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.
