Flammable liquids give off vapors that will ignite under sufficient pressure, but generally speaking will not explode. Petrol vapor will flash at normal pressures in the correct air/fuel ratio. While not actually an explosion, it is a very fast burn and could create an explosion if contained.
What else can I help you with?
Do cars explode in lava?
Strange question! If caught in molten lava they will certainly catch fire, and yes the tyres and petrol tank could well explode.
Is IPA miscible with petrol.?
IPA is miscible with petrol.
Is petrol a liquid or a gas?
Petrol is a liquid. It is a refined product derived from crude oil and is commonly used as fuel for vehicles.
When petrol is mixture?
Petrol contain a high number of components.
WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND OF PETROL?
Petrol contain a huge number of organic compounds.
What can cause a tank in a toilet to explode?
pour petrol in it and drop a lighted match in it
What makes a car explode?
petrol station + nylon clothes or mobile phone = BOOM!!!!!
What are the dangers of a petrol station?
Petrol stations are potentially very dangerous, because petrol is fire hazard. If petrol leaks from pump for any reasons eg petrol nuzzle misused, or pipe crack or gets damages then petrol can leak onto forecourt and catch fire or even explode.
How could a motorcycle explode?
The petrol holder could leak and a spark could ignite it. The hot exhaust pipe could also cause petrol to ignite.
Why cant you use petrol and diesel together?
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
Does petrol produce a lot of heat?
no, it does not produce a lot of heat because it is highly flammable causing it to burn and explode
Does petrol go off?
if you are asking can it change over time in such a way as to no longer be usable as a motor fuel?Yes it can and does go off if stored for a few months unless a fuel stabiliser is added to it.If however you mean "go off" as in to explode then no petrol will only burn.petrol vapors will explode.
Does petrol in an open container explode when lit?
Petrol can ignite and create a fireball if exposed to an open flame in an open container due to its flammable nature. However, it is unlikely to explode like a bomb unless it is vaporized and ignites in a confined space with a high concentration of fuel vapor. It is important to handle petrol with care and avoid exposing it to sources of ignition.
What will happen if you use petrol why can't you use petrol?
If you have a diesel engine and fill it with petrol, it can explode. The petrol is gasoline with added chemicals to make it explode by the ignition made by the spark plug, causing the cylinders to move, that then powers your car. The diesel engine works differently, in that it has a heat plug that ensures heat in the chamber, the reverse movement of the cylinder cause an increase in pressure until it reaches the point where combustion takes place. Diesel on a petrol engine may wreck all the electronics, valves - because it will not ignite. The reason for preferring diesel engines on a boat is just that the diesel vapor needs pressure and heat to explode, not just a tiny spark.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol in unloaded?
Because even if there's a slight static charge in the tanker, it could ignite the petrol and explode. If it's connected to the ground by a wire, then all the static charge in the truck is removed (ie grounding the truck).
What was a doodle bug in world war 2?
A doodle bug was an un maned flying bomb. They used to put enough petrol in them to reach certain destenations. when they ran out of petrol they would plumitt and explode doing a lot of damage they were called v1
What is defference between disel engine and petrol engine?
Diesel engines have a far higher compression which allows the diesel fuel to explode without the use of a spark plug.
