2. Cetane improver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_improver

   The cetane number is a key property of diesel fuel, as it measures its aptitude to self-ignite in the combustion chamber. [8] The auto ignition temperature of diesel fuel is around 220 °C (428 °F) at atmospheric pressure. Cetane improver additives are used to decrease this temperature and lead to quicker combustion, by increasing the cetane ...

3. Thermic fluid heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermic_fluid_heater

   Liquid fuel thermic fluid heaters run on petroleum-based fuels like furnace oil (FO), light diesel oil (LDO), [7] or heavy fuel oil (HFO). These heaters are more common in industries that have access to refined oil products. Advantages: High efficiency and ease of operation. Lower emissions compared to solid fuel systems. Disadvantages:

4. Winter diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_diesel_fuel

   Diesel fuel is prone to waxing or gelling in cold weather; both are terms for the solidification of diesel oil into a partially crystalline state. Below the cloud point the fuel begins to develop solid wax particles giving it a cloudy appearance. The presence of solidified waxes thickens the oil and clogs fuel filters and injectors in engines.

5. Fuel saving device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_saving_device

   Fuel-saving devices are sold on the aftermarket with claims they may improve the fuel economy, the exhaust emissions, or optimize ignition, air flow, or fuel flow of automobiles in some way. An early example of such a device sold with difficult-to-justify claims is the 200 mpg ‑US (1.2 L/100 km) carburetor designed by Canadian inventor ...

6. Oil burner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

   It is dyed red to show that it is road-tax exempt. In most markets of the United States, heating oil is the same specification of fuel as on-road un-dyed diesel. An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat ...

7. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

   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 others. The term fuel oil generally includes any liquid fuel that is burned in a furnace or boiler to generate heat ( heating oils ), or used in an engine to generate power (as ...
