Fuel !

[Torpedoheat]

Hi Folks
I am looking for some info on fuel types and the nature of each one.
I would like to know what burns hotter K1, Diesel, fuel oil, or jet fuel??
I have never seen fuel gel up so I wonder if that is true also.
Any advice would be a big help.
Thanx

- The flash point of kerosene is between 37 and 65 °C (100 and 150 °F),
- Diesel fuel flash points vary between 52 and 96 °C (126 and 205 °F).
- Fuel Oil:
Fuel or Chemical Auto ignition Temperature
Fuel or Chemical (oC) (oF)
Hydrogen 500 932
Gas oil 336 637
Gasoline, Petrol 246 - 280 475 - 536

- Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F).

I know my answers seems to be not appropriate but I think you can able to find out your answer.

Well it is a step in the right direction.
From what you say it would take more pressure to atomize diesel compared to K1.
I didnt know steel melts at 2750 so thanx for that.
