The reportable quantity of diesel fuel is the amount on hand which must be disclosed to the company or governing body. This is done for tracking purposes.
According to the 49 CFR (Federal Rules regarding DOT Hazmat regs) the reportable quantity of diesel fuel is anything over 1001 lbs that is not directly connected to the fuel system of a vehicle. Do not count any fuel that you have in the fuel system of your vehicle, only what you are transporting. Hope this helps.
"Reportable Quantity" for Hazardous Substances
Reportable Quantity
water sensor has malfunctioned/or fuel has large quantity of water contamination.
The reportable quantity for transporting gasoline is 1,000 gallons or approximately 3,785 liters. If a spill or release of this quantity or more occurs during transportation, it must be reported to the appropriate authorities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
The calorific value of fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion at a constant pressure and under normal conditions. For diesel, the calorific value is 44,800.
At the moment of ignition in a diesel engine cylinder, the greatest quantity present is the air-fuel mixture, primarily composed of compressed air and injected diesel fuel. The air is compressed to high pressures and temperatures, which facilitates the ignition of the fuel when it is injected into the cylinder. This process occurs without the need for spark plugs, relying instead on the heat generated from the compression of the air.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Any bulk fuel retailer will carry it. If you're looking for a small quantity, agricultural co-ops often carry it.
Diesel will always give you better fuel mileage as diesel fuel itself contains more BTU (the measure of thermal energy) in a given quantity than compared to gas.So therefore a diesel engine can extract more mileage out of a gallon of diesel fuel as there is more energy to extract out of that gallon as compared to a gallon of gas.Considering this, this is why diesel fuel prices would have to rise considerably over gas before the two would be equal on a cost per mile basis.
Common-rail diesel is a fuel injection system used in diesel engines that allows for multiple injections of fuel into the combustion chamber at high pressure. This technology improves engine efficiency, reduces emissions, and enhances performance by allowing precise control over the timing and quantity of fuel injected. The "common rail" refers to a shared fuel rail that delivers diesel to individual injectors, enabling better atomization and combustion. This system has become standard in modern diesel engines for its benefits in power and fuel economy.
