Question

Can someone give me 4 advantages of diesel fuel?

Answer 1

1) Diesel fuel gives about 20 to 30% more fuel economy (check out the mpg's of a TDI Beetle)

2) Diesel fuel can be made from any organic oil and can run in any diesel engine with little to no modifications (www.Biodiesel.org)

3) Diesel fuel provides significantly more torque than any other fuel (That’s why semi's use diesel to pull heavier loads.)

4) Diesel motors last so much longer than gasoline motors. (I have a 1995 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel with over 350,000 miles and it’s still running today)

Answer 2

Funny, most people have list 3 advantages and the 4th one is usually the advantage of the diesel engine.  (Also, bio diesel is NOT a diesel fuel.  It is a bio fuel that can be used inside a DIESEL engine).

1.  Diesel fuel has more energy content than gasoline.

2.  Diesel fuel is safer and less flammable than other form of fuel, resulting in safer storage and handling.

3.  Diesel fuel is less corrosive than other fuel.

4.  Diesel fuel has a higher combustion temperature than other fuel.

Answer 3

1)  Less explosive than gasoline.

2)  More energy per gallon.

3)  Can be used as a home heating fuel.

4)  Engines last longer.

Answer 5

I don;t know about diesel fuel, but I can give you quite a few diesel ENGINE advantages.

1. With modification, they can run on pure vegetable oil

2. You can supercharge/turbocharge them as much as you like for more power, but that makes the fuel economy BETTER instead of making it worse like they do in gas engines

3. It's easy and very affective to raise the compression

4. There is about a 0.1% chance of the engine "pinging" even with some slightly off-tune parts

        If you're going to try to use a diesel instead a gas, take these opporitunities into consideration, it'll help in the long-run.

Answer 6

The main one is the power is much greater for the same work.
