The viscosity of diesel fuel is directly dependent upon the temperature at which it's kept. At 100 degrees, the viscosity may be as much as 140 SSU. The higher the temperature, the lower SSU, so at 130 degrees the viscosity may only be 70 SSU.

Gasoline has a low viscosity because it has a low resistance to flow.*You can't give viscosity a number. Therefore, the question can't be answered directly.*


Does the viscosity of fuel affects the fuel pump of ic engine and how?

The difference in the viscosity of gasoline a, gasoline b and gasoline c is so small that I would not expect it to affect a fuel pump at all.

What is viscosity of hfo?

The viscosity of HFO (heavy fuel oil) varies depending on its grade and temperature. Generally, HFO has higher viscosity than other fuels, such as diesel or gasoline. It has a thick, sticky consistency that makes it more challenging to flow and pump through pipelines and engines, especially at lower temperatures.


Is gasoline newtonian fluid?

yes. example of paraffin flows with increase in stress and flow curve passes through the origin, fitting in the definition of Newtonian fluids.


Why is that a diesel fuel is more viscous than gasoline?

Diesel fuel is more viscous than gasoline primarily due to its higher molecular weight and the presence of larger hydrocarbon chains. These longer chains result in stronger intermolecular forces, which increase viscosity. Additionally, diesel typically contains more aromatic compounds and heavier hydrocarbons, contributing to its thicker consistency compared to the lighter, more volatile components found in gasoline. This difference in viscosity affects fuel handling, combustion characteristics, and engine performance.

Can synthetic oil be used in a hybrid car?

As long as the synthetic oil is of the correct viscosity for the engine, it can be used in a hybrid car. Hybrid cars have two engines - the gasoline powered one and the electric one. The gasoline powered pretty much like any other gasoline powered 4-stroke engine and uses the same kind of lubricants.
