Usually not. The seals in a rotary that does the job of the piston rings in a piston engine have a much harder job to do, and tend not to last as long.
Agreed. The "Wankel" was a good concept, an engine with one moving part but never lived up to it's potential. The above answer is an excellent example. The trouble mostly came from balancing the rotor, as it did not rotate in a perfect 360 degree circle and oil seals were prone to failure
In a gasoline engine, it is a fuel-air mixture that is drawn in during the intake stroke, unless the engine is fuel injected. In a fuel injected or a diesel engine, it is air, because the fuel (gasoline or diesel) is injected at the "last moment" before ignition.
Based on Type 2 diesel fuel, one Imperail gallon of fuel will weight 8.93 lbs
Yes, the same as any other metal product. Normally, you would cut out the bung, though.
If gasoline pours out from under your car, and you are not in the process if adding fuel, you have a gas leak and should call the fire department and a mechanic who makes house calls or has a tow truck.
If you are in the process of adding fuel and the gas pump didn't stop automatically, you may have had your fuel pump replaced with one that did not fit exactly or it did not seal properly to the gas tank.
Most steam engines except those used on tourist railroads have been replaced with the more efficient steam turbine engines.
