Can diesel fuel explode?
yes
Does diesel burn or explode?
Diesel burns when in an open container, it is not as volatile as gasoline. If you flick a match into diesel fuel, it will typically go out unless it is hot enough to vaporize due to the temperature. In a diesel engine, the fuel explodes when it gets to the right temperature, caused by pressure.
Will a petrol engine smoke if run with diesel?
Yes, it will smoke and will not run correctly, if at all. Diesel fuel will not explode and instead produce smoke. It can also clog your fuel injection. If diesel is added to a gasoline tank, the fuel should be removed. If there is too much diesel mixed in, the engine will likely not run at all.
What is defference between disel engine and petrol engine?
Diesel engines have a far higher compression which allows the diesel fuel to explode without the use of a spark plug.
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Can an airplane explode?
Yes,Airplanes can explode because their Fuel Tanks. The Fuel Tanks contain Fuel.
Is diesel a bio fuel?
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
Can a smoke make a diesel tank full of diesel explode?
Under the right circumstances it sure can. If you could douse the cigarette directly into the diesel it probably would not explode. The problem is the fumes. The fumes ignite first and then the diesel explodes. It is even quicker and more violent with gasoline.
Can I used unleaded fuel in a diesel van?
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

How does petroleum diesel and biodiesel make cars work?
Those liquids are combustable, when atomized and mixed with air in the right proportions and a spark is added the mixture will explode, the internal combustion engine contains this blast, and uses it to create motion. Diesel engines don't use spark to ignite the fuel mixture. Diesel engines use high compression to ignite the fuel mixture.
