Actually, diesel is quite a tricky thing to get lit. Diesel's flash point (depending on what text book you read) varies from 100 degrees - 140 degrees F. Flash point means at which temperature the liquid releases a flammable vapor. Therefore, by simply throwing a match on it, unless the diesel is already pre-heated to the temperature, the match will simply go out.
By applying pressure to the diesel, (enormous amounts) you can create a pressure explosion --- what happens in a diesel engine.
Strap a bomb to it.
ingridents 1 diesel fuel 2 cotton 3 fertilizer (chemical) 4 newspaper 5 match make a pouch kind of thing from the news paper and put in the fertilizer . put diesel soaked cotton on top of it and crumble up the newspaper . lighten the newspaper up and run about 11 feet away from the bomb and take cover over a solid thing. the bomb will explode like a cannon so plz be careful .
A volcano can explode when pressure builds up inside it due to trapped gases and magma. This pressure can be released explosively when the volcano erupts, causing an explosion.
Three useful substances produced when diesel is cracked are gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel. Gasoline is a high-demand fuel for cars, kerosene is used for heating and lighting, and diesel fuel is commonly used in transportation and industry.
Hydrogen can be made to explode without ignition by placing it in a container with restricted volume or mixing it with air to create a combustible mixture. Any sudden increase in pressure or temperature, such as a spark or heat source, could then trigger the explosion.
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.
yes
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
you light it on fire dahhhhhh loser
All the hoses go soft and explode.
you will have a bomb. your engine could explode from the increased compression of a diesel engine
If you have a diesel engine and fill it with petrol, it can explode. The petrol is gasoline with added chemicals to make it explode by the ignition made by the spark plug, causing the cylinders to move, that then powers your car. The diesel engine works differently, in that it has a heat plug that ensures heat in the chamber, the reverse movement of the cylinder cause an increase in pressure until it reaches the point where combustion takes place. Diesel on a petrol engine may wreck all the electronics, valves - because it will not ignite. The reason for preferring diesel engines on a boat is just that the diesel vapor needs pressure and heat to explode, not just a tiny spark.
Diesel engines have a far higher compression which allows the diesel fuel to explode without the use of a spark plug.
you become president...and make pink illegal. that would make Paris Hilton 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.
No
Diesel fuel is not considered highly explosive; it has a higher flash point than gasoline, meaning it requires a higher temperature to ignite. While it can catch fire and burn, it is unlikely to explode under normal conditions. However, if diesel is aerosolized or mixed with certain chemicals, it could pose a risk of explosion in specific scenarios. Proper handling and storage are essential to minimize any risks associated with diesel fuel.
