What are the bad conductors covering petrol?

Bad conductors covering petrol include materials such as wood, cloth, and plastic, as they can easily generate static electricity and spark fires in the presence of gasoline vapors due to their insulating properties. It is important to use approved containers and tools made of non-sparking materials when handling petrol to prevent accidents.

How do you measure diesel quantity received in 200ltrs drums?

To measure the diesel quantity received in 200-liter drums, you can use a graduated dipstick specifically designed for measuring liquid levels in drums. Insert the dipstick vertically into the drum, ensuring it touches the bottom, and then read the measurement to determine the quantity of diesel in the drum. Alternatively, you can use a flow meter to measure the volume of diesel as it is being transferred into the drum.


How you can measure specific gravity of Diesel?

To measure the specific gravity of diesel, you can use a hydrometer specifically designed for measuring the specific gravity of liquids. The hydrometer is floated in a sample of the diesel, and the reading on the scale will give you the specific gravity of the diesel. Make sure to calibrate the hydrometer at the correct temperature for accurate results.


What does one liter of diesel fuel weigh?

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.
