diesel is a liquid fuel at the gas pumps.
Diesel is a liquid fuel. It is commonly used in diesel engines to power vehicles and machinery. When stored and handled properly, diesel remains in liquid form.
Gasoline, alcohol, diesel fuel, and acetone are examples of flammable liquids. These liquids can easily catch fire and ignite at relatively low temperatures. It is important to handle them with caution and follow proper storage guidelines to prevent accidents.
Diesel fuel itself will burn but you really can't call it flammable. When you add gasoline to it, the flammability greatly increases with the amount of gasoline you add.
They use diesel fuel.
No. Oregon's pump law (ORS 480.315) pertains to class 1 flammable liquids. Diesel is a Class 3a flammable liquid and is therefore not covered under the statute. That being said, the ability to pump your own diesel can be restricted by the policies of the particular fuel station itself.
1. It's a liquid so physics says yes 2. HOWEVER, it is flammable and so running any ignition source through it may IGNITE it!!!
Methane and octane, both alkanes, are examples of gases that are used as fuel and are highly flammable.
A highly flammable liquid, such as gasoline, is best for burning. It is important to exercise extreme caution when handling and burning flammable liquids to prevent accidents and injury.
Gasoline and diesel are well known liquid fuels.
Diesel
Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).
