    Diesel atoms are more "compacted" with more hydrocarbons than gasoline which is why it feels oilier and thicker. It stores more energy but burns slower. Think of it like firewood. Dry birch will light quick and burn hot, but oak will burn pretty hot and slow because it's a denser wood.

      @saxplayingcompnerd Год назад +90

      Those longer molecules lend toward being more lubricious. The old sulfur additives and now biodiesel are extra lubricious to preserve the high pressure fuel components that depend on the lubricity in the fuel in order to function correctly. basically, diesel is just really thin oil. hence it being very close to kerosene aka fuel oil.

    @robertmckinley2886 Год назад +18

    Oil behaves like a cushion between the bearing surfaces to reduce friction which otherwise wears on the surfaces. Diesel fuel is a very thin oil and does not act like this as much as a thicker oil. Thus, friction is greater with diesel fuel. However, used as a temporary measure, it works as a great flush to clean the engine sludge out. I have used diesel fuel as a flush many times through the years. Just fil up to the dip stick line and let the hot engine idle for about 10 to 15 minutes and then drain. Refill again with your normal oil.

The vapors were entering through the crankcase vent and it revved like crazy> Luckily I was able to stuff a rag in the intake and shut it down after maybe five to ten seconds.

    I bought a 197? chevy nova that had about 80,000 miles on it around 1983, engine ran great, but had a little lifter tap mainly during start up. I noticed it had a good bit of sludge build up on top of the heads, so, I drained out about 1 quart of oil and added about 2 quarts of purple power degreaser, let the engine idle for about 15 minutes. Then turned it off, let it set about 1 hour, then let it idle about 15 more minutes. Drained out all the gunk, new oil n filter, no more lifter tap, and the car ran great for years.

      (Edit: the following comment is inaccurate. See my later comment.)
      It would last quite a while. Viscosity is the most important factor when choosing a lubricant for an application. The viscosities between atf and motor oil are similar, but transmission fluid dosen't have the detergents, dispersents, and base additives of engine oil. So the transmission fluid will break down faster in an engine, meaning you will see more varnish, deposits, and erosion of the soft metals due to the high acid content. These things would take thousands of miles to make themselves apparent.

    For a basic explanation thats easier to understand for the average person.
    When refining crude oil in the way of fuel, diesel is refined before petrol "gasoline".
    Diesel has a higher boiling point than petrol, and by such is more viscous/thicker.
    Engines use oil working off a viscosity scale, 10w/40 20w/50 etc which measures how quickly an oil flows at both cold and general operating temp...
    Being that diesel is more viscous/thicker it offers better lubrication for the bearings than petrol does.
    Funfact from old drag racing:
    Diesel oil however has cleaning properties, and was an old drag engine builders go to when building a modified motor e.g. no oil in the motor after honing/boring etc to eliminate cross contamination of oils, but diesel oil was used as its viscous enough to keep the bearings lubricated adequately but also kept bores clean, from excessive carbon build up, however tends to lose its viscosity quicker but can equal quicker e.t. at the strip and if changed constantly keep a cleaner internal engine
