Can you convert a LP engine to a gasoline engine?
It should theoretically be possible. However, it would be easier and probably cheaper just to replace the engine with one designed for gasoline.
Can a gasoline engine be converted to a diesel engine?
No the compression in a Gasoline is only 8 to 1 in a Diesel it is 22 to 1 so it would blow up
What effect does colloidal graphite have on an engine?
I would not expect it to have any detrimental effect if added in reasonable percentages.
What engine is best diesel or gasoline?
definitley diesel its a much more effecient engine and surprisingly burns much cleaner than gasoline especially in performance if you put 5grand into a diesel truck your lookin at close to 30 mpgs or more as to were a gasoline engine would be getting only about 8
What happens when you put regular gas into a Chevy silverado diesel trucks?
DO NOT put gasoline into a Diesel Engine... EVER. Gasoline engines work on the principle of Combustion caused by compressing gasoline and oxygen and then adding a spark to cause a controlled explosion called "Combustion" Diesel engines do not use a spark to ignite the fuel. Diesel fuel will combust on its own when under pressure and heat. The Glow Plugs in your engine provide the initial heat to start the combustion process, but once the Engine is started, the glow plugs shut off and it is just a process of Heat generated by the previous "explosion" and the compression of the fuel and oxygen. If you put gasoline into a Diesel engine, it will not start, and if by chance it did, The thermal (explosive) properties of gasoline are very different from a Diesel fuel and you would probably destroy the engine. If you have put only a small amount, say a quart or so, your worries are small. Fill the tank the rest of the way with diesel and run it. A small amount of gasoline will not hurt a diesel engine. In fact, the US Army, back when the engines were diesel and not multifuel, typically had the practice of adding a quart to a gallon of gasoline to diesel truck tanks in the winter to prevent foaming. If you have filled the tank with gasoline, however, do not turn the engine over. Drain the tank and refill it with diesel.
Does the viscosity of fuel affects the fuel pump of ic engine and how?
The difference in the viscosity of gasoline a, gasoline b and gasoline c is so small that I would not expect it to affect a fuel pump at all.
What would happen if you just put gasoline in the 2 stroke engine?
By putting only gasoline in a two stroke engine you can destroy it. A two stroke engine requires oil to be mixed into the gasoline to keep the moving parts lubricated. When you do not have that oil there it will not lubricate correctly and therefore scar and break the moving parts on the inside.
Who would use a steam engine?
Someone who doesn't want to burn gasoline. A steam engine has the ability to use anything that will burn. Had the technology been applied to steam engines like it was to gasoline engines, we possibly would have some viable steam engine transportation today. Steam engines were less efficient than gasoline or diesel engines, that is why they are not used much today.
What gas is needed in 1974 vw beetle?
Regular gasoline would be finefor an unmodified engine.
What makes the best gasoline?
Im my opinion Shell or Sunoco would be the best for the engine and emissions.
Can you turn a gasoline engine to a diesel engine?
Not really. You could start over and redesign an engine to be able to run on diesel but it would be completely different from the original.
How does an engine that is made to run on E85 differ from a normal gasoline engine?
An engine that is made to run on E85 differs from a normal gasoline engine in several ways. An engine that is made to run on E85 uses E85 as a biological fuel source whereas a normal gasoline engine that is made to run on normal gasoline runs on or uses gasoline--that is gasoline or natural gas. Both engines' designing mechanisms differ accordingly. For instance, an E85 engine's mechanisms allow it to operate on only ethanol gas but a normal gasoline engine can work on normal gasoline. Notably both engines would look different as their operative mechanisms are designed to operate differently by running on different fuel ingredients and substances. But not necessarily. This may not be likely for an engine's typicality and normality. Engines do look different in many ways but not always; they may also look the same, and in fact they do. In the case of these two engines, the question is not about whether they look different but rather if they work differently. An internal combustion engine--a typical gasoline-based engine--is an example of a normal gasoline engine. It is one of the oldest types of engines used in running motoring machines. Therefore, the many ways in which an engine that is made to run on E85 differs from a normal gasoline engine are functionality, look, design, and capacity in particular. The way in which an engine that is made to run on E85 differs from a normal gasoline engine is in terms of its power source and the way it works or its way of working.
