The term “diesel” was originally linked only to the type of engine. It was not associated with any particular type of fuel.
The inventor of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel, ran his first engines with peanut oil.
Diesel fuel can be made from virtually any organic material (like peanut oil) if it possesses flammable properties. This flammability makes it suitable for the diesel process.
Hydrocarbon-based diesel fuel has superior stability and cold-weather capabilities.
To produce diesel fuel, crude oil is first distilled and then refined.
Biodiesel engines can run on fuel obtained from used cooking oil or tallow!
Diesel oil can be produced synthetically, using the process of gasification.
The highest energy efficiency rate from initial oil extraction to combustion in the engine is with fossil diesel fuel.
I didn’t know that diesel fuel can be made from almost any organic material, if it’s flammable. It makes sense that it would have to be flammable though. I had also never heard of biodiesel engines before. Thanks for teaching me something new today!
We stumbled over here by a different website and thought I might check things out.
I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward to finding
out about your web page repeatedly.
Please keep throwing these posts up they help tons.
