What else can I help you with?
Is diesel highly inflamable?
No, diesel at room temperature will not ignite if you direct a naked flame to it.
What's the difference between unleaded and diesel fuel?
Unleaded fuel is used in gasoline engines, while diesel fuel is used in diesel engines. The main difference is in how the engines ignite the fuel - gasoline engines use spark plugs, while diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel. Diesel fuel also has a higher energy density than unleaded fuel.
What will egnite fuel?
It is not the fuel that ignites it is the fumes. Any spark or flame will ignite the fumes.
Can number 4 fuel oil be used in a diesel engine?
No #4 diesel fuel oil is for oil burners and will not ignite in a diesel egine
Which engine type relies on heat compression to ignite the fuel?
Diesel engines rely on heat and high compression to ignite fuel.
Is fuel flash point same as cetane rating?
No, fuel flash point and cetane rating are not the same. Flash point is the temperature at which fuel can ignite momentarily when exposed to a flame, while cetane rating is a measure of the ignition quality of diesel fuel, indicating how readily it ignites under compression in a diesel engine.
Why you can't use diesel in petrol vehicle?
The fuel will not ignite properly.
How does diesel fuel ignite in the engine?
The engine's pistons compress the fuel (an air and diesel oil mixture) in the cylinders and the heat generated by that compression causes the fuel to ignite.A longer answerDiesel engines ignite their fuel solely by means of compression: whilst spark plugs are used to ignite the gasoline fuel and air mixture in gasoline engines, in diesel engines the diesel oil and air mixture is compressed to a very much higher degree, which causes a lot of heat. The resulting very high temperature causes the fuel to self-ignite.
What is the minimum temperature in a diesel engine cylinder for the fuel to ignite?
35 c
What do you need for a burning to occur?
Fuel, Oxygen and a spark to ignite the flame. Use the Fire triangle.
How can I safely use diesel to start a fire?
To safely use diesel to start a fire, ensure the area is well-ventilated, use a small amount of diesel fuel, and ignite it with a match or lighter from a safe distance. Avoid pouring diesel directly onto an open flame and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby for safety.
Where does the word diesel come from?
'Diesel' comes the German engineer, Rudoplf Diesel. Diesel invented an internal combustion engine that would auto ignite, when the fuel vapours were compressed to a high degree. This increased the temperature of the vapour to the point were it would auto ignite. The fuel that he used was slightly different from petrol, which needed an electrical spark to ignite. This slightly different fuel is now known as 'Diesel'.
