Diesel fuel can start to gel and potentially clog fuel filters and lines at temperatures below approximately 32°F (0°C). A specific temperature at which diesel fuel will gel can vary depending on the type and blend of diesel fuel. To prevent gelling, additives can be used to lower the gel point of diesel fuel.
Yes, burning diesel fuel is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction where the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and new chemical compounds like carbon dioxide and water vapor. The original diesel fuel is transformed into different substances during combustion.
The viscosity of Diesel 2 at 37.8 degrees Centigrade is 2 to 6 centistokes. This is equivalent to 32.6 to 45.5 SSU.
Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).
Yes, diesel vapor is heavier than air. It tends to sink and accumulate in low-lying areas. This property is important to consider when handling, storing, or working with diesel fuel to prevent potential health and safety hazards.

The ignition temperature of diesel fuel typically ranges between 210 to 300 degrees Celsius (410 to 572 degrees Fahrenheit). This is the temperature at which diesel fuel can ignite without an external flame or spark. Factors such as the specific formulation of the diesel and environmental conditions can influence this value.
Diesel fuel ignites due to a combination of high pressure and temperature in a diesel engine's combustion chamber. When the piston compresses the air, it raises the temperature to a point where the injected diesel fuel vapor ignites spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. This auto-ignition occurs because diesel fuel has a higher cetane number, allowing it to ignite more easily under the right conditions. Additionally, the heat generated from the compression process is critical for initiating combustion.
The critical temperature of diesel fuel is typically around 400-450 degrees Celsius. Above this temperature, diesel fuel can vaporize and pose a serious fire hazard. It is important to handle and store diesel fuel carefully to prevent accidents.
90 degrees is the maximum velocity for diesel. Diesel is generally any liquid fuel used in diesel engines within vehicles.
A boiler is used to boil water, but many boilers work at high pressure so the temperature could be up to about 300 degrees C. Boilers are usually fed with oil that is heavier than diesel, while diesel is used to fuel diesel engines.

Because a diesel requires a fuel sprayed under high pressure. Compression on most diesels is over 300 PSI. Injector pressure when the fuel is sprayed can be from 1500-2500 PSI. This is why you need to be careful around diesel lines. The pressure can cut your skin or inject fuel into your body. That can cause problems. A carb can't deliver any pressure.
