  2. Gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline

    The presence of these degradation products in the fuel tank or fuel lines plus a carburetor or fuel injection components makes it harder to start the engine or causes reduced engine performance [15] On resumption of regular engine use, the buildup may or may not be eventually cleaned out by the flow of fresh gasoline. The addition of a fuel ...

  3. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Demonstration of evaporative cooling. When the sensor is dipped in ethanol and then taken out to evaporate, the instrument shows progressively lower temperature as the ethanol evaporates. Rain evaporating after falling on hot pavement. Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. [1]

  4. Vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_recovery

    Vapor recovery towers are also used in the oil and gas industry to provide flash gas recovery at near atmospheric pressure without the chance of oxygen ingress at the top of the storage tanks. The ability to create the vapor flash inside the tower often reduces storage tank emissions to less than six tons per year, exempting the tank battery ...

  5. Onboard refueling vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboard_refueling_vapor...

    If the car's own vapor recovery system is working properly, then the Stage II nozzle will only be vacuuming normal fresh air and depositing that into the gas station's underground fuel storage tanks. That ends up causing evaporation of fuel vapors into the atmosphere, because too much pressure builds up in those fuel storage tanks.

  6. Fuel tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tank

    A fuel tank (also called a petrol tank or gas tank) is a safe container for flammable fluids, often gasoline or diesel fuel. Though any storage tank for fuel may be so called, the term is typically applied to part of an engine system in which the fuel is stored and propelled ( fuel pump ) or released (pressurized gas) into an engine .

  7. Exhaust gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas

    Exhaust gas or flue gas is emitted as a result of the combustion of fuels such as natural gas, gasoline (petrol), diesel fuel, fuel oil, biodiesel blends, [1] or coal. According to the type of engine, it is discharged into the atmosphere through an exhaust pipe , flue gas stack , or propelling nozzle .

  8. Flash-gas (petroleum) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash-gas_(petroleum)

    Oil and Natural Gas Refinery in Turkey. In an oil and gas production, flash-gas is a spontaneous vapor that is produced from the heating or depressurization of the extracted oil mixture during different phases of production. [1] Flash evaporation, or flashing, is the process of volatile components suddenly vaporizing from their liquid state.

  9. Vapor lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_lock

    Vapor lock is a problem caused by liquid fuel changing state to vapor while still in the fuel delivery system of gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines.This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling.
