Gasoline is a fuel made from crude oil and other petroleum liquids. Gasoline is mainly used as an engine fuel in vehicles
Diesel fuel is a complex mixture of hydrocarbon molecules derived from petroleum crude oil. t most commonly refers to a distillate that is burned in compression combustion engines or home heating systems. Diesel fuel is ignited in an internal combustion engine cylinder by the heat of air under high compression – unlike motor gasoline, which is ignited by an electrical spark.
Diesel and gasoline differ in a few critical ways. Diesel fuel is “heavier” and “oilier” than gasoline. Therefore, it evaporates more slowly. This type also has a higher boiling point than gasoline, usually 150 to 370 degrees Celsius. This fuel is more efficient than gasoline because it produces more power.
Contamination, dirt, water and other airborne materials are usually the cause. However, most of these problems are correctable. Filter replacement can prevent the pump and injector wear that results in premature repairs.
Engine smoke is caused by incomplete combustion. White smoke is caused by tiny droplets of unburned fuel resulting from engine misfire at low temperatures; this smoke should disappear as your engine warms up. Black smoke can result from faulty injectors, insufficient air or overloading/overfueling the engine. Blue or gray smoke is the result of burning lubricating oil and is an indication the engine is in poor mechanical condition.
