2. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   Using a funnel to assist with a motor oil refill. In petrol (gasoline) engines, the top piston ring can expose the motor oil to temperatures of 160 °C (320 °F). In diesel engines, the top ring can expose the oil to temperatures over 315 °C (600 °F). Motor oils with higher viscosity indices thin less at these higher temperatures. [5]

3. Emulsified fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsified_fuel

   Emulsified fuels are a type of emulsion that combines water with a combustible liquid, such as oil or fuel. An emulsion is a specialized form of dispersion that contains both a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The most commonly utilized emulsified fuel is a water-in-diesel emulsion (also known as hydrodiesel). [1]

4. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

   SAE J300 is a standard that defines the viscometric properties of mono- and multigrade engine oils, maintained by SAE International. [1] Key parameters for engine oil viscometrics are the oil's kinematic viscosity, its high temperature-high shear viscosity measured by the tapered bearing simulator, and low temperature properties measured by the ...

5. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   A tank of diesel fuel on a truck. Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, heavy oil (historically) or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel.

6. Gasoline gallon equivalent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

   A diesel cycle engine can be as much as 40% to 50% efficient at converting fuel into work, [2] where a typical automotive gasoline engine's efficiency is about 25% to 30%. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In general, an engine is designed to run on a single fuel source and substituting one fuel for another may affect the thermal efficiency.

7. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

   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 ...
