Because the fuel companys are a bunch of oportunistic crooks. the same rule aplys to diesel fuel.
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.
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.
No, things do not float more on kerosene than oil because both kerosene and oil have similar densities. In general, objects will float on a liquid if their density is lower than that of the liquid.
No, kerosene is not more viscous than bitumen. Kerosene is a low-viscosity liquid, typically used as a fuel, while bitumen is a highly viscous, thick substance often used in road construction and roofing. The viscosity of bitumen can be many orders of magnitude higher than that of kerosene, making it much more resistant to flow.
Kerosene is a fraction of petroleum that is less volatile than gasoline. Kerosene was first used in lamps as a replacement for whale oil. Its main use now is as jet aircraft fuel (usually JP-1 but there are higher grades), it is also used as fuel in some rocket motors (usually RP-1 but there are higher grades), also kerosene heaters, etc.
Yes. Kerosene has 140,000 btu's per gallon and gasoline has less.
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.
Kerosene is considered safer than gasoline because it has a higher flash point, which means it is less likely to ignite at normal temperatures. Additionally, kerosene produces less flammable vapors compared to gasoline, reducing the risk of accidental fires or explosions.
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.
E85 is more expensive than traditional gasoline because it is a blend of 85 ethanol and 15 gasoline, and producing ethanol is more costly than extracting and refining crude oil to make gasoline. Additionally, the infrastructure for distributing E85 is not as widespread as that for gasoline, which can also contribute to its higher price.
Kerosene releases more energy then ethanol but it is harder to put into engines that run on gasoline already.
At the moment, I think it is slightly more expensive than regular gasoline.
At the moment, I think it is slightly more expensive than regular gasoline.
Diesel fuel is usually expensive than gasoline because, diesel undergoes many expensive processes in the refinery than gasoline.
Because liquids like benzene, kerosene and gasoline posess a HUGE amount of energy per liter, they are easy to use, and they are not too expensive. Remember that in the United States, gasoline sold for less than the cost of springwater for many decades!
Yes, diesel engine will last much longer than gasoline engines. They are built much stronger but are also more expensive to build.
Home heating oil is typically more expensive than gasoline because it is a refined product that requires additional processing to meet specific heating requirements. Additionally, the demand for home heating oil is generally lower than the demand for gasoline, which can also contribute to its higher price.
