Fuel and Engines
We commonly relate fuel and engines with gasoline. Other engines also run on natural gas such as propane and “bio-fuels” such as ethanol. The principle remains the same as the fuel induces internal combustion.

How much horse power is in a 110cc engine?
Depends entirely on who makes the engine and how it's tuned. Could be anywhere from 4 -10 hp.
Is gas engine more reliable than diesel in pickups?
No, diesel engines run with lower rpms and which also causes them to have lower tempuratures. diesel engines in semi trucks get up to 1,000,000 miles in them with just simple rebuilds. gas engines are a disiaster with over 150,000 miles.
Who manufactures victa v40 engines?
I have a Victa v40 Sabre and the engine is manufactured by Briggs and Stratton.
Why would a diesel engine blow up with only 15000m on clock?
Driving like an absolute doughnut would cause that.
Or not checking and toping up with oil and coolant.
How can you describe a fire engine?
A fire engine is a vehicle specifically designed to transport and help emergency personnel extinguish fires.
How much fuel burns while a semi is idling?
It depends on the truck ie;a volvo 780 burns 7.0 gallons in 10 hrs.
What are the types of fire engines?
The three main classes are the internal combustion engines, steam engines, turbine engines.
How is a Morse test on a diesel engine conducted?
same as with a gasoline engine the maximum power and torque are noted, then the plug of each cylinder is removed one at a time and the power drop is noted to determine the contribution of each cylinder at the same rpm over the board
What causes engine hard starting and shaking after engine start?
Timing needs adjustment is the most likely cause.
How does compression increase engine power?
When you increase compression , you increase the potential energy to drive the piston down faster. The air and fuel in the combustion chamber are squeezed to a high pressure(into a smaller space) because the piston top is closer to the cylinder head base. When the mixture of fuel and air are ignited by the spark plug , it burns faster and with more force on the top of the piston.
A higher compression engine, also creates a stonger vacuum signal, when the intake valve is opened, allowing for a more complete filling of the cylinder. It is needed when using a long duration cam/ large port heads and manifold for high rpm power band which cause a drop in the intake vacuum signal.
Yes, extremely! The higher the number the more powerful the engine is.
How many miles can you expect to get out of hemi engine 2005 Chrysler 300?
200,000 + with normal maintenance.
Why do cars use up more fuel when they are moving faster?
The engine is going through more cycles in less time and and each cycle uses fuel. Your MPG should max out at around 55mph
Additionally, higher speeds cause a higher percentage of the fuel you burn to go towards overcoming wind resistance. From 55 - 60 MPH (approx. 88 - 96 km/h), 50% of the fuel you expend goes towards powering the vehicle, and the remaining 50% goes towards overcoming wind resistance. As you increase your speed beyond that, the amount of fuel needed to overcome wind resistance increases.
What is meant by cetane number?
A cetane number is a rating given to diesel fuels. It is a rating of how fast the diesel fuel ignites under compression. In diesel engines, there are no spark plugs and the engine uses compression (pressure) to cause ignition.
Does the fuel doctor FD-47 work?
No, it doesn't. All it does is turn on the green LED if the voltage is below 11.5V and the red one if it's above 11.5V. It also contains a non-functional voltage regulator circuit.
freeze out plugs are metal plugs in the block and heads of your engine. they are are there if the coolant was mixed wrong with to much water and the vehicle freezes they will pop out allowing expansion of freezing liquid hopefully saving the engine
Part 2: You will see these called freeze plugs, casting plugs, welsh plugs and probably other terms. The holes they plug are part of the cylinder block casting process to allow molten steel/iron/aluminum to rapidly flow into the block casting mold. The fact that they will pop out if the coolant in the engine freezes can be serendipitous but in most cases the plugs go bad due to galvanic action: the steel plugs installed at the factory are dissimilar to the engine block metal and will start to corrode (rust) and will start leaking after a while. This is why most antifreeze manufacturers claim they have anti-corrosion protection; it is also why 99% of replacement plugs are brass. Three points to remember: 1) before replacing plugs do your research and find out EXACTLY how many plugs your engine has and where they are. 2) if you have to replace one plug, replace them all. 3) if you are rebuilding an engine it is cheap insurance to replace the plugs.
