2. 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 ...

3. 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.

4. Multifuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifuel

   Low octane commercial and aviation gasoline could be used if engine oil was added, jet fuel Jet A, B, JP-4, 5, 7, and 8 could be used, as well as fuel oil #1 and #2. [5] In practice, they only used diesel fuel, their tactical advantage was never needed, and in time they were replaced with commercial diesel engines. Another use of multifuel ...

5. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

   They determined that the cost of a ton of oil fuel used in steam engines was $5.04 and yielded 20.37 train miles system wide on average. Diesel fuel cost $11.61 but produced 133.13 train miles per ton. In effect, diesels ran six times as far as steamers utilizing fuel that cost only twice as much.

6. Calculated Ignition Index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculated_Ignition_Index

   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. For residual fuel oil two auxiliary indexes have been developed: the Calculated Ignition Index (CII) and Calculated ...

7. Distillate (motor fuel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillate_(motor_fuel)

   Early railroad motor cars and tractors were offered with kerosene or gasoline-powered engines. Beginning in 1925, distillate-powered versions were offered, persisting until 1956, when the last "all-fuel" tractors were sold, while diesel-fueled tractors increased in popularity. Kerosene-engined tractors were phased out by 1934.

8. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   Today, motor oil in the US is generally sold in bottles of one U.S. quart (950 mL) and on a rarity in one-liter (33.8 U.S. fl oz) as well as in larger plastic containers ranging from approximately 4.4 to 5 liters (4.6 to 5.3 U.S. qt) due to most small to mid-size engines requiring around 3.6 to 5.2 liters (3.8 to 5.5 U.S. qt) of engine oil.

9. Emulsified fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsified_fuel

   The most commonly utilized emulsified fuel is a water-in-diesel emulsion (also known as hydrodiesel). [1] In these emulsions, the two phases are immiscible liquids—water and oil. Emulsified fuels can be categorized as either microemulsions or conventional emulsions (sometimes called macroemulsions to distinguish them from microemulsions).
