You need a spark to set the fluid on fire.

no. fluid you will not set on fire. vapor you set on fire, and all you need
to do that is a temp greater than the vapor's ignition temp.

horvath, diesel engines have no spark, yet a diesel engine sets the "fluid"on
fire every power stroke of every cylinder. It is the temperature you need, not
the spark.

Diesels use fuel injectors to vaporize the fuel, and very high
pressure to ignite it. yer not going to get that combination in your
engine compartment.

pretty close.
the injectors only atomize the fuel - heat of compression vaporizes and
ignites.

horvath, you wish to check of the ignition temp of diesel fuel, not to mention
engine oil and other things found in an engine room. then you might wish to
check the meaning of the term "ignition temperature".

keep up, Forrest.

Report presents the results of a study of variations in ignition lag
and combustion associated with changes in air temperature and density
for a diesel fuel in a constant-volume bomb. The test results have
been discussed in terms of engine performance wherever comparisons
could be drawn. The most important conclusions drawn from this
investigation a the ignition lag was essentially independent of the
injected fuel quantity. Extrapolation of the curves for the fuel used
shows that the lag could not be greatly decreased by exceeding the
compression-ignition engines. In order to obtain the best combustion
and thermal efficiency, it was desirable to use the longest ignition
lag consistent with a permissible rate of pressure rise.


Flash Point

The flash point temperature of diesel fuel is the minimum temperature
at which the fuel will ignite (flash) on application of an ignition
source under specified conditions. Flash point varies inversely with
the fuel’s volatility. Flash point minimum temperatures are required
for proper safety and handling of diesel fuel. Due to its higher flash
point temperature, diesel fuel is inherently safer than many other
fuels such as gasoline.

hey fagot, *plainly* YOU do _NOT_ understand the discussion. go play with your

horvath, you seem to have no clew what you are reading. **IF** you did, you
would notice that diesel fuel vapor at or above its ignition temperature will,
no frickin' squat, ignite. duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

what the hell have you been since the early 13th century, dood.
