Can Cars Use Diesel Fuel?
1 Answers
Cars cannot use diesel fuel, otherwise the vehicle will fail to start. Here is relevant information about diesel fuel: Concept: Diesel is a light petroleum product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon atom numbers approximately 10-22), used as fuel for diesel engines. Properties: Diesel has a boiling point range and viscosity between kerosene and lubricating oil among liquid petroleum distillates. It is flammable, volatile, insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohol and other organic solvents. It is a complex mixture with two boiling point ranges: 180°C–370°C and 350°C–410°C. Uses: Diesel is mainly used as power for tractors, large vehicles, diesel locomotives, construction machinery (excavators, loaders), fishing boats, diesel generator sets, and agricultural machinery. It serves as fuel for diesel-powered vehicles like diesel cars and tractors.
