What else can I help you with?
Fuels that can only be used once?
Solid rocket propellants can be considered as a type of fuel that can only be used once. Once ignited, they burn rapidly and are not designed to be reused. Other examples include single-use batteries and disposable fuel canisters for camping stoves.
Does hydrogen have a byproduct?
Yes, the only byproduct of hydrogen is water.
Why is crude oil classed as a nonrenewable fuel?
Crude oil is classified as a nonrenewable fuel because it takes millions of years to form from the decomposition of organic matter under high pressure and heat. The rate of oil consumption is much faster than the rate of its formation, making it a finite resource that cannot be replenished within a human time scale. Once extracted and burned, crude oil is permanently depleted.
What fossil fuels can only be used once?
ALL fossil fuels can only be used once! When you burn coal or oil to produce electricity, or use petroleum or diesel to drive your truck, it's gone and you have to find some more. It's becoming harder and harder to find oil. That's why people are interested in electric cars.
Is diesel renewable or nonrenewable?
Diesel is considered a nonrenewable fuel because it is derived from petroleum, a fossil fuel that takes millions of years to form. Once diesel is used, it cannot be readily replaced by natural processes on a short timescale.

What is the future of petroleum?
Petroleum is a fossil fuel, it has no future only a geological past, once is is used it is gone.
What portion of a barrel of oil can be used to make diesel?
Typically, about 9.21 gallons of diesel fuel are refined out of an industry-standard 42-gallon barrel of crude oil. (This equates to about 22% of the barrel for diesel).
Why wood is not used as a domestic fuel?
Wood IS used as a domestic fuel. Often it is the only fuel available.
What is the gas mileage on a 350 motor with a four barrel carb compared to a 350 with a two barrel carb?
The four barrel usually gets a little better mileage because the primaries of a Rochester Quadrajet are a lot smaller than the Rochester 2-jet that was used at the time. Once you open the secondaries of a quadrajet however, you will use significantly more fuel than a 2-jet.
Whats the Advantage of multiple barrel carburettors?
Multiple barrel carburetors were used to give a more efficient fuel flow to an engine when compared to a single barrel. High powered engines have been known to have three two barrel carburetors, commonly called a six pack due to the six barrels being used.
Is gas recyclable?
No, it is a fossil fuel. Once it is used, it is gone.
When is the external fuel tank dropped?
The external tank is dropped once the fuel is used up in the tank.
Are fossil fuel reusable?
No, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) can only be used once. For this reason they are called non-renewable sources of energy.
Where does the gold color of whiskey come from?
From the carmelized sugars in the charred wood oak barrels in which they are stored. That is why the barrels are only used once. Most of the carmelized sugar is gone after the barrel is emptied the first time.
How is a barrel oil used?
A barrel of oil is used to store and transport crude oil and petroleum products. It is a standard unit of measurement for the oil industry, with one barrel equaling 42 US gallons or 159 liters. Oil is extracted from the barrel for refining into various products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil.
What percentage of a barrel of oil is used for something other than fuel?
A barrel of oil yields these refined products (percent of barrel): 47% gasoline for use in automobiles 23% heating oil and diesel fuel 18% other products, which includes petrochemical feedstock-products derived from petroleum principally for the manufacturing of chemicals, synthetic rubber and plastics 10% jet fuel 4% propane 3% asphalt (Percentages equal more than 100 because of an approximately 5% processing gain from refining.)
