At what sub-zero temperature does No. 0 diesel freeze?
1 Answers
No. 0 diesel freezes at zero degrees Celsius. The freezing of diesel is referred to as crystallization. The grade of diesel is named after the freezing point of the oil product, so No. 0 diesel begins to crystallize at 0 degrees Celsius. Automotive diesel is the specialized fuel for diesel engine vehicles. Compared to gasoline engines, diesel engines have higher thermal efficiency, better power performance, greater power output, durability, reliability, and superior cleanliness. The main difference between diesel and gasoline engines lies in the ignition method. In diesel engines, diesel fuel ignites spontaneously upon contact with compressed high-temperature air, hence they are called compression-ignition engines. Gasoline engines, on the other hand, ignite the air-fuel mixture using spark plugs, making them spark-ignition engines.
