  4. 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.

  5. Filling station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_station

    Newer stations may employ a single pipe for every dispenser. This pipe houses a number of smaller pipes for the individual fuel types. Fuel tanks, dispenser and nozzles used to fill car tanks employ vapor recovery systems, which prevents releases of vapor into the atmosphere with a system of pipes. The exhausts are placed as high as possible.

    1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

  8. Oil tanker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_tanker

    Tanks that carry less viscous cargoes are washed with water. Fixed and portable automated tank cleaning machines, which clean tanks with high-pressure water jets, are widely used. [103] Some systems use rotating high-pressure water jets to spray hot water on all the internal surfaces of the tank. [103] As the spraying takes place, the liquid is ...

  9. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

    Baryte powder used for preparation of water-based mud. In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth. Used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs, drilling fluids are also used for much simpler boreholes, such as water wells.
