Diesel fuel is not considered highly explosive; it has a higher flash point than gasoline, meaning it requires a higher temperature to ignite. While it can catch fire and burn, it is unlikely to explode under normal conditions. However, if diesel is aerosolized or mixed with certain chemicals, it could pose a risk of explosion in specific scenarios. Proper handling and storage are essential to minimize any risks associated with diesel fuel.
yes
Diesel burns when in an open container, it is not as volatile as gasoline. If you flick a match into diesel fuel, it will typically go out unless it is hot enough to vaporize due to the temperature. In a diesel engine, the fuel explodes when it gets to the right temperature, caused by pressure.
Yes, it will smoke and will not run correctly, if at all. Diesel fuel will not explode and instead produce smoke. It can also clog your fuel injection. If diesel is added to a gasoline tank, the fuel should be removed. If there is too much diesel mixed in, the engine will likely not run at all.
Diesel engines have a far higher compression which allows the diesel fuel to explode without the use of a spark plug.
Yes,Airplanes can explode because their Fuel Tanks. The Fuel Tanks contain Fuel.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
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.
Under the right circumstances it sure can. If you could douse the cigarette directly into the diesel it probably would not explode. The problem is the fumes. The fumes ignite first and then the diesel explodes. It is even quicker and more violent with gasoline.
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.

Where is the diesel fuel filtered
Water is heavier than diesel fuel
