How do you turn red diesel into clear diesel?

You used to be able to however, there is now a marker in the fuel that reacts with a re-agent that is used by HMRC. So you may be able to change the colour to blue (taxed) but it's highly unlikely you'd be able completely change red in to blue. You can filter the diesel through sand, then through a paper filter, repeat this 3 or 4 times through fresh sand and it will become clear. You must filter the diesel 3 times through a filter made of kitchen towel to catch any microns of sand which can ruin your engine. Make sure you change the fuel filters every 2 or 3 months in your vehicle too. AS high as the fine are for using off road fuel, and that chance of fuel system damage from the "sand filtering" described above, I would recommend buying the correctly taxed fuel.


What are the manufacturing steps of cement?

Cement is a powdered mineral, which when added to water reacts to form an element that glues sand, gravel and stones. Its produced by propositioning of different elements that include, calcium oxide, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide and iron oxide, and burning them in a clinker at a temperature about 1450 to form clinker which is then grounded to form cement.


How many types of crude oil are there?

The petroleum industry often characterizes crude oils according to their geographical source, e.g., Alaska North Slope Crude. Oils from different geographical areas have their own unique properties; they can vary in consistency from a light volatile fluid to a semi-solid. Classification of crude oil types by geographical source is generally not a useful classification scheme for response personnel, because general toxicity, physical state, and changes that occur with time and weathering are not primary considerations. Rather, the classification scheme provided below is more useful in a response scenario. Class A: Light, Volatile Oils. These oils are highly fluid, often clear, spread rapidly on solid or water surfaces, have a strong odor, a high evaporation rate, and are usually flammable. They penetrate porous surfaces such as dirt and sand, and may be persistent in such a matrix. They do not tend to adhere to surfaces; flushing with water generally removes them. Class A oils may be highly toxic to humans, fish, and other biota. Most refined products and many of the highest quality light crudes can be included in this class. Class B: Non-Sticky Oils.These oils have a waxy or oily feel. Class B oils are less toxic and adhere more firmly to surfaces than Class A oils, although they can be removed from surfaces by vigorous flushing. As temperatures rise, their tendency to penetrate porous substrates increases and they can be persistent. Evaporation of volatiles may lead to a Class C or D residue. Medium to heavy paraffin-based oils fall into this class. Class C: Heavy, Sticky Oils. Class C oils are characteristically viscous, sticky or tarry, and brown or black. Flushing with water will not readily remove this material from surfaces, but the oil does not readily penetrate porous surfaces. The density of Class C oils may be near that of water and they often sink. Weathering or evaporation of volatiles may produce solid or tarry Class D oil. Toxicity is low, but wildlife can be smothered or drowned when contaminated. This class includes residual fuel oils and medium to heavy crudes. Class D: Nonfluid Oils. Class D oils are relatively non-toxic, do not penetrate porous substrates, and are usually black or dark brown in color. When heated, Class D oils may melt and coat surfaces that become very difficult to clean. Residual oils, heavy crude oils, some high paraffin oils, and some weathered oils fall into this class. These classifications are dynamic for spilled oils ... weather conditions and water temperature greatly influence the behavior of oil and refined petroleum products in the environment. For example, as volatiles evaporate from a Class B oil, it may become a Class C oil. If a significant temperature drop occurs (e.g., at night), a Class C oil may solidify and resemble a Class D oil. Upon warming, the Class D oil may revert back to a Class C oil.

Crown Management Jakarta Capital Discussion - Can anyone tell me what this frac sand?

1. Frac sand is a special sand is one of the keys to producing oil and natural gas from tight shale formations Crush-Resistant Sand for Oil and Gas Wells. "Frac sand" is a high-purity sand with very durable and very round grains of a specific size. It is a highly specialized, crush-resistant material produced for use by the petroleum industry. It is used in thehydraulic fracturing process (known as "fracking") to produce petroleum fluids, such as oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids from rock units that lack adequate pore space for these fluids to flow to a well. Frac sand can be a natural material made from high purity sandstone. An alternative product is ceramic beads made from sintered bauxite.

what is 1 45/135 in the simplest form?

To simplify the fraction ( \frac{45}{135} ): Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. The GCD of 45 and 135 is 45. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD: ( \frac{45 รท 45}{135 รท 45} = \frac{1}{3} ) So, ( \frac{45}{135} ) simplifies to ( \frac{1}{3} ). The number ( 1 \frac{45}{135} ) in simplest form is ( 1 \frac{1}{3} ).
