Many people want to know, whether it’s possible to replace heating oil with diesel fuel. In case heating oil in your tanks run out, is it possible to use diesel fuel instead?
Or the opposite question: is it possible to pour heating oil into your diesel truck fuel tank?
Let’s find out… WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

Liquefied Petroleum Gas, abbreviated as LPG, is an internal combustion engine fuel, a mixture of propane and butane. It is an alternative to gasoline / petrol, in some countries it is very popular. In Poland, where I live, it’s very popular because it’s price is less than half of gasoline price! Because of that the cost of autogas (common name for LPG) conversion is returned pretty quick. WAIT!

In this article we’ll think if it’s is possible and reasonable to use hydrogen as car fuel. I posted some time ago an article about hydrogen fuel car, this will be the second article on hydrogen.
Hydrogen was used as energy carrier for long time. It can be produced from plain water, and can be burnt in engines, burners or other devices to produce energy. But can hydrogen be energy source for automobile transport? WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

I put this article here as a reference to all other articles on autogas. I’ll write a article or two about this fuel here, because in many countries autogas is considered a very cheap and convenient gasoline (petrol) alternative. Though it is not a biofuel, it surely is alternative car fuel, so it has to be written about here.
The site automatically downloads the article from Wikipedia, so you can say it is up to date. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

In todays society, Researchers in the United States and around the world are searching for ways to develop alternate forms of fuel. With the ever-rising fuel costs, developing alternate energy is a priority. Bio diesel was developed to combat the high gas and oil prices. It is especially made for use in bio diesel cars and trucks. Bio diesel is made from all naturalfoods that produce oil. Oils such as vegetable, canola, peanut, rapeseed, palm and olive oil can be used as bio diesel fuel. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

Diesel engines, called also compression ignition engines, are internal combustion engines operating on Diesel cycle. The principles of this cycle as well as first diesel engine were discovered in 1890s by Rudolf Diesel.
The combustion in diesel engine is started when the pressure in combustion chamber exceeds ignition point of fuel injected to the chamber. During the compression stroke, the air inside the combustion chamber is compressed and because of that it increases it’s temperature. On a proper timing fuel is injected to the combustion chamber and ignites from the hot air inside. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
