I'd say it's good enough, especially since I was able to find a YouTube video that indicates you can potentially ignite diesel with a hammer.

Can we add any other substance to this.
Will other forms of heavy fuel oil do the same?.. will Petrol even ignite?.. with enough force?..

As anyone owning a diesel engine may testify, you dont just hit the "go" button, there has to be a small period of "warming" in a cold engine block to get ignition. Not so much on any engine that has been run in say the last half-hour to Hour dependant on weather temps... But the first start of the day?. Especially in winter. I know modern engine have a "flash" warmer to ignite the fuel, and that can give a fast start, but as anyone who has had an older vehicle on a cold day with possibly older warming plugs that may need replacement will tell you, that first kick in the morning may take a while. Is it even possible to ignite diesel with no heat source at all?.. If, for instance, you put it through a hydraulic press at "Many hundreds of tons" pressure, will it stay un-ignited?. And then onwards, Hydraulic Oil, its still a "Heavy oil", [is it?.. or is it a light oil?..] I suppose its sort of similar to diesel?.. If you heated Hydraulic oil in the same way as diesel, would it burn?. What are the differences here?. |

People do mix hydraulic fluid with diesel and run it it in their vehicles. Some say they run a 70/30 mix with hydraulic fluid being the 70. Also see where some use gear oil(90-140w) of course in much lower concentrations.

There is a condition where a diesel can over run and start to burn engine oil.
Thats the case when the engine runs too fast and over-revs.
Hows that work then?.. on the way out, it would have been burned, on the way in, the fuel system runs in after the turbo, so how does un-burnt fuel get to the turbo?..
