What else can I help you with?
Why CNG is used in heavy vehicles?
Clean burning and cost less than gasoline or diesel.
Why are diesel engines loud?
Diesel engines detonate. Diesel has more potential energy than gasoline, instead of burning evenly, diesel explodes creating a knock or rattle noise.
Why don't buses use gasoline?
Buses, like many large vehicles, burn diesel fuel. Deisel-burning engines are better suited for large vehicles than gasoline-burning engines.
How many CFC's are produced by a car?
None at all. CFCs are a chemical compound not a byproduct of the burning of gasoline or diesel.
How much gasoline can be added to a diesel auto's fuel tank without causing problems. I've heard the ratio can be as high as 70 percent diesel and 30 percent gasoline?
Incorrect on both accounts. The distillates in diesel are different than gasoline, in that they have different ignition points and cetane ratings. Because of this, adding gasoline to diesel will inhibit the ignition in the diesel engine, just as adding diesel to a gasoline engine will cause the fuel to ignite too quickly. In general, never mix the two. You can add diesel-specific additives to diesel, but gasoline is never recommended. More info: http://www.turbodieselregister.com/mixing_gasoline_and_diesel.htm
What liquid is best for burning?
A highly flammable liquid, such as gasoline, is best for burning. It is important to exercise extreme caution when handling and burning flammable liquids to prevent accidents and injury.
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
What will a Bi fire extinguisher put out?
That is a B extinguisher, Used for burning liquids, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, paint, grease, etc.
If you accidentally put unleaded gasoline in a diesel engine and then drain the fuel out is there anything else that you have to do before refilling with diesel?
no... a diesel will run a lot better on gasoline than a gasoline motor will run on diesel... If you fill it with diesel fuel you should have no problems Correct. You should not have any problems after draining tank and refilling. If you started the vehicle or tried to start the vehicle it may not be a bad idea to change the fuel filter. If you ran the vehicle on the diesel - gasoline mix until it died before you realized what happened it is possible (but not likely) to have internal damage; but at this point there is nothing you can do but drain the fuel, change filter, refuel, and see what happens.
Can you use diesel oil in gasoline engine?
NO, do not use diesel oil and a gasoline engine.
Are gasoline and Diesel engines heat engines?
Yes, gasoline and diesel engines are heat engines. The energy released by the burning fuel causes the gas in the cylinders to expand and push the pistons, which in turn do work.
Do cars emit CO2 into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
