Who has the lowest boiling point fraction petrol or diesel?
Petrol has a lower boiling point than diesel. This is because petrol is a lighter fraction of crude oil, consisting of shorter hydrocarbon chains, which results in a lower boiling point compared to diesel.
What is the color of petrol and diesel in petrol station?
Petrol is typically a light yellow or clear color, while diesel is usually a shade of green or light blue. The color is due to the different additives and dyes used to differentiate between the two types of fuel at petrol stations.
Does diesel have larger molecules than petrol?
Yes, diesel generally has larger molecules than petrol. This difference in molecular size is one of the factors that contribute to the differences in properties between diesel and petrol, such as their boiling points and combustion characteristics.
How can you separate petrol and diesel from crude oil?
Petrol and diesel can be separated from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated in a distillation column, which allows the different components to evaporate at their specific boiling points. This process results in the separation of petrol and diesel, along with other refined products, based on their molecular weights.
What is a hydrocarbon other than gasoline or kerosene?
Propane is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel for heating and cooking. It is a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining.
What is the diesel reid vapour pressure?
2 kpa
Is it possible to use petrol in diesel and diesel in petrol engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
Why compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
Why do you need to bleed a diesel?
Diesel engines work in a different way to petrol in that they work on pressure to ignite warm diesel as opposed to petrol engines which have spark plugs. in order to work, there can be no air, air wont ignite!!
Why cant you use petrol and diesel together?
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.
Is it possible to use petrol and diesel as fuel in same engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
What is diesel and petrol used for?
diesel and petrol are source which is used to generate power.
Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
What if you accidentally put diesel fuel in your car instead of petrol?
Depending on the mix (how much petrol vs how much diesel), the car will either not go at all, or may go but feel jerky. It is obviously not recommended to put ANY diesel in a petrol engine, simply because of the way a petrol engine works vs how a diesel engine works. In a petrol engine, the fuel is made to combust only with a spark, and therefore requires a much higher pressure for combustion to take place. The higher the octane of the fuel, the more pressure is needed for the fuel to combust. A diesel engine works in the opposite way, where it needs less pressure and no spark to combust. If you have accidentally put diesel in a petrol engine, don't drive the car. Drain the fuel. You may have to replace to fuel filter and the spark pugs Comment: To clarify the above logic. CAUTION!! Diesel engines have compression ratios of 15:1 or more so that PRESSURE (not spark) ignites the fuel. Petrol engines use SPARK to ignite the fuel. The high octane rating of petrol is so that it does not PRE-IGNITE (pink) under pressure. Raise the compression ratio and you need a higher octane rating, which is why some petrolheads use Avgas (130 octane) on their high performance engines. Diesel engines need HIGH pressure to operate, petrol engines can use LOWER pressure to work, but need higher octane rated fuel if the pressure rises.
How do you tell petrol from diesel in a can?
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
Is the espero cdi petrol or diesel?
petrol
