Effect of Rust & Free Water on Flash Point of Diesel and Petrol Samples

Abstract

Petrol and Diesel are commercially used fuels in engines. Few distract actions are encountered while auto-ignition due to presence of water and rust in the engine, as the fuel are properties are determined and understood by analysing flash point of petrol and diesel samples. Since increase in flash points are due to presence of water, which shows free water drops is found to exhibit negative effects present in tested diesel and petrol. Present study helps to determine/analyse the quality of fuel from the bottom of the tank which is predominantly has water drops and rust particles.
