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.

Back firing problems on 351 windsor?
There can be a number of reasons for the backfire. If you changed plugs you could of crossed 2 wires. Same if you have just changed the dist cap. there can be a crossed wire or you didn't put them back in the same place. Bring the #1 plug up to top dead center on the compression stroke then remove the dist cap & see if the pointer is pointing at the # 1 plug. Check to make sure the wires are in the correct firing order at the cap & trace each wire to the plug that it is suppose to go to. Another reason if you removed the dist from the engine it may not of been put back in in the same place. Worse one is you may have a bent or burnt intake valve. Also look for carbon tracks on inside of cap or a small crack on cap. replace it you see any. You can check the condition of wires/cap at night. Must be dark-start engine & look close at wires & cap. Any sparks will tell you that can be one of you problems WAtCH OUT FOR THE FAN & ANY MOVING PARTS I talked to my son on this problem & he told me that the rotation goes in the opp direction then a 351 cleveland.

How does a distributor gear wear out?
The distributor gear might wear out in an older vehicle that has high mileage, just because of wear and tear on the parts. A newer vehicle with less than 70,000 miles should not have the distributor gear wearing out. If this is the case, an electrical problem could have caused this to malfunction.
Why is your 1993 Chevrolet cheyenne not starting?
Check all vacuum lines and make sure they are both undamaged and hooked up correctly, as well as the vacuum itself. If the vacuum system is fine, try spraying the inside of the throttle body with carb and choke cleaner. To do this, remove the 2 wing nuts on the air filter housing and take it off of the throttle body. This will reveal the twin injectors and butterfly valves. Spray the carb and choke cleaner moderatly over every surface and try starting it. If it still wont start, the problem may lie with the starter, battery, electrical wiring etc, etc.

What happens when you put unleaded gas in a diesel vehicle?
Serious engine damage. There will be a big problem... Unleaded gasoline does not have the lubrication properties of diesel fuel and has ignition properties much more violent than diesel fuel.
Your only solution is to have your tank and fuel lines drained and hope for the best. If you did not drive the vehicle you will be fine. If you did drive it and depending on how much unleaded you put in the tank, you may have serious problems.

What is the difference between petrol or gasoline and diesel fuels?
Diesel must be compressed and warmed to become combustible.
Gasoline simply ignites from the spark.
Longer answer
Both petrol (also known as gasoline) and diesel fuels are made in oil refineries. In a production process known as "cracking" they take crude petroleum oil - that has been extracted from oil-bearing rocks and shales which lie below the Earth's surface - and produce many different "fractions of distillation".
Gasoline and diesel are made from different blends of those crude oil "fractions" together with various kinds of chemical "additives" which are used to improve their performance as fuels.
Petrol is lighter in density and is not as "oily" as diesel.
In some countries diesel vehicle fuel is more expensive to buy than gasoline whilst, in other countries, diesel may be considerably cheaper to buy than gasoline, or their prices may be very similar. Such pricing differences are caused by many factors, including the production capacity available from local refineries, the costs of bulk-transporting the fuels over long distances and, last but not least, the major differences between the percentages at which vehicle fuel taxes are levied by the governments in each country around the world.
Whilst diesel can give better fuel economy (miles per gallon or kilometers per liter) than petrol, the downside is that diesel engines usually cost more to manufacture than petrol engines, so a petrol-engined vehicle usually costs less money to buy than a similar make and model that has a diesel engine.
Most engines get around 400 degrees. However the paint rated for 1200 degrees will be able to block the heat.
Will you do more damage to your car if you drive it after it has undergone water damage?
Usually no. Usually, driving with the climate control set to defrost and the temperature set for fairly (but not all the way) high is good as it removes water from the interior.
If you own a GM vehicle, yes, as you've got a lot of corrosion in your electrical connectors. Until you get all the dash lights shut off and everything works properly for at least one year try not to drive it more than necessary. Expect a few things to stop working from time to time over the next 5 years.
Oh, and if you own a Nissan (Infiniti included) you should consider getting rid of it before the suspension and body fall apart and kill you.
When was the first engine made?
Although it wasn't a combustible engine I do believe the first engine was created by a man named Thomas Davenport. Thomas Davenport was an American blacksmith and inventor who invented the first DC electrical motor in 1834 he created a small model of electrical railway in 1835. He had patented a device for "Improvements in propelling machinery by magnetism and electromagnetism" in 1837 (which was his electric railway). Davenport used his DC electrical motor to power shop machinery, and it was the first practical application for the electric motor. Davenport later started a workshop in New York City and published a journal on electromagnetism.
