The flashpoint is the minimum temperature at which the vapour above the sample fuel would ignite when it comes into contact with an ignition source.

Because gasoline has such a low flashpoint temperature, says the report, a small amount can depress diesel flashpoint substantially—as much as 40F if contaminated with 1 percent winter-grade gasoline ...

Gasoline and diesel engines work on similar principles, but there are some important differences, including the fact that diesel engines don't need spark plugs.

Jet fuel can run in some diesel engines due to similar properties, but it lacks proper lubrication and additives, risking ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 2, No. 2 (2010), pp. 205-225 (21 pages) ABSTRACT Low temperature combustion is a promising way to reach low NOx emissions in Diesel engines but one of its ...

Methods of producing non-sooting, low flame temperature diesel combustion were investigated in an opticallyaccessible, quiescent constant-volume combustion vessel. Combustion and soot formation ...

The flashpoint temperature of the insecticide is much higher than diesel. The machine heats up the diesel, which is released under high pressure from a nozzle.
