Diesel fuel is not very volatile. It's very unlikely (I hesitate to categorically state "impossible") that it could be ignited by a cigarette.
According to my manual, the fuel light goes on when the tank is down to approx 6 litres of diesel.
My Mk3 fiesta did not.
water sensor has malfunctioned/or fuel has large quantity of water contamination.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
A 1998 Ram with the Cummins diesel has a water in fuel indicator on the dash that will illuminate if there is water in the fuel filter housing.
Diesel and light oil are not the same, although they are related. Diesel fuel is a specific type of light oil derived from crude oil, designed for use in diesel engines. Light oil, on the other hand, refers to a broader category of petroleum products that includes various fractions of crude oil, such as gasoline and kerosene, in addition to diesel. Therefore, while all diesel is a type of light oil, not all light oil is diesel.
Where is the water drain for the Water in Fuel light?
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
Yes, a P-reg (1996-1997) VW Golf with a 1.9 turbo diesel engine typically has a diesel warning light on the dashboard. This light is usually yellow or orange and indicates issues related to the diesel fuel system, such as low fuel, a malfunctioning glow plug, or other diesel-specific problems. If the light comes on, it's important to check the vehicle's manual for specifics and address any potential issues promptly.
No, gazole diesel is not the same as regular diesel fuel. Gazole diesel is a type of diesel fuel commonly used in Europe, while regular diesel fuel is the standard type of diesel used in the United States. They may have slightly different chemical compositions and properties.
Diesel fuel can appear different colors due to variations in its composition and any added dyes. Typically, diesel fuel is a light yellow or pale green color. However, impurities, contaminants, or oxidation can darken its color. Additionally, some countries regulate the color of diesel fuel for tax or identification purposes, leading to variations in color.
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.
