Is diesel fuel the same as distillate?

No, 'distillate' is not the same as diesel fuel. It is more like kerosene and is used in engines that have spark plugs for ignition rather than high compression to ignite the (injected) fuel. Distillate engines often have a small gasoline tank so they will start col on gasoline and you switch it to distillate after it warms up.


How do you increase the flash point in diesel oil?

A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.


What is HFO?

Heavy Fuel Oil is what if refereed to as the heavies, is the long chain hydrocarbons in crude that can not be distilled at 350 F. The products includes greases, waxes, plastics, asphalts, tar etc. The HFO can be further process to separate the different products or can be cracked, a process that breaks the long chain hydrocarbons in to shorter chain hydrocarbons and distilled into LNG, gasoline, diesel, kerosene etc.


What method of separation is used in the refinery to separate crude oil into its constituents such as petrol kerosene diesel?

Fractional distillation ( i think)


Uses of simple distillation?

Distillation is a method in chemistry to separate substances from a mixture according to their level of vitality. some examples of distillation are alcohol distillery, distilled water, production of gasoline, paraffin, kerosene etc.

What is the name for a facility that separates oil into a variety of petrochemical such as gas kerosene and propane?

The facility that separates crude oil into various petrochemicals such as gasoline, kerosene, and propane is called a refinery. Refineries use processes like distillation, cracking, and reforming to transform crude oil into usable products. These facilities play a crucial role in the petroleum industry by converting raw materials into valuable fuels and chemicals.


What are ten things that you can make out of oil?

* Petrochemicals (Plastic) * Asphalt * Diesel fuel * Fuel oils * Gasoline * Kerosene * Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) * Lubricating oils * Paraffin wax * Tar


Which burns slower kerosene or gasoline?

Kerosene burns slower than gasoline because it has a higher flash point and is less volatile. This means that kerosene requires more time and heat to ignite and burn compared to gasoline.


How long does it take for gasoline to turn to kerosene?

Gasoline and kerosene are both derived from crude oil but have different boiling points due to their molecular composition. Gasoline has a lower boiling point and evaporates faster than kerosene. There isn't a specific time frame for gasoline to turn into kerosene as they are distinct products with different properties.


Does kerosene have more btu per gallon thaN gasoline?

Yes. Kerosene has 140,000 btu's per gallon and gasoline has less.
