In North America, gas stations offer two types of diesel fuel – according to ASTM D975 [5] these are named No. 1 and No. 2 fuel. No. 1 fuel (similar to kerosene) has a natural CFPP of -40 °C but it is more expensive than No. 2 fuel. Adding No. 1 fuel will lower the CFPP of No. 2 fuel – adding 10% will lower the CFPP temperature by about 5 ...
An oil tanker taking on fuel, or "bunkering" Fuel oil is any of various fractions obtained from the distillation of petroleum (crude oil). Such oils include distillates (the lighter fractions) and residues (the heavier fractions). Fuel oils include heavy fuel oil (bunker fuel), marine fuel oil (MFO), furnace oil (FO), gas oil (gasoil), heating oils (such as home heating oil), diesel fuel, and ...
[1] Several indices are used to characterise fuels. [2] For spark-ignition engines the fuel has an octane rating. For diesel engines it depends on the type of fuel, for distillate fuels the cetane numbers are used. Cetane numbers are tested using a special test engine, however, the existing test engine was not intended for residual fuels.
Fusel oil: UN 1202: 3: Gas oil or diesel fuel or heating oil, light UN 1203: 3: Gasoline or petrol or motor spirit UN 1204: 3: Nitroglycerin, solution in alcohol, with not more than 1 percent nitroglycerin UN 1205? (UN No. no longer in use) UN 1206: 3: Heptanes: UN 1207: 3: Hexaldehyde: UN 1208: 3: Hexanes: UN 1209? (UN No. no longer in use) UN ...
Due to the higher density, diesel fuel offers a higher volumetric energy density: the density of EN 590 diesel fuel is defined as 0.820 to 0.845 kg/L (6.84 to 7.05 lb/US gal) at 15 °C (59 °F), about 9.0-13.9% more than EN 228 gasoline (petrol)'s 0.720–0.775 kg/L (6.01–6.47 lb/US gal) at 15 °C, which should be put into consideration when ...
Alpha-methylnaphthalene, which has a long delay period, was assigned a cetane number of 0, but has been replaced as a reference fuel by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8-heptamethylnonane, which is assigned a cetane number of 15. [2] All other hydrocarbons in diesel fuel are indexed to cetane as to how rapidly they ignite under compression, i.e. diesel engine ...
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and Top Tier Diesel Fuel are performance specifications and trademarks designed and supported by several automakers. [1] BMW , General Motors , Fiat Chrysler Automobiles , Ford , Acura / Honda , Toyota , Volkswagen , Mercedes-Benz , Navistar , Audi , and Volvo support the gasoline standard, while General Motors ...
This is seen as desirable in a military setting as enemy action or unit isolation may limit the available fuel supply, and conversely enemy fuel sources, or civilian sources, may become available for usage. [2] One large use of a military multifuel engine was the LD series used in the US M35 2 + 1 ⁄ 2-ton and M54 5-ton trucks built between ...
