Fuel oils tractor

The fuels that are derived from petroleum supply more than half of the world s total supply of energy. Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil provide fuel for automobiles, tractors, tmcks, aircraft, and ships. Fuel oil and natural gas are used to heat homes and commercial buildings, as well as to generate electricity. Petroleum products are the basic materials used for the manufacture of synthetic fibers for clothing and in plastics, paints, fertilizers, insecticides, soaps, and synthetic rubber. The uses of petroleum as a source of raw material in manufacturing are central to the functioning of modem industry.

Diesel fuels are used by the diesel engines of cars and lorries. Diesel fuel oils (DFOs) are used for the production of domestic heat and also by agricultural tractors and heavy-plant vehicles, but their use is forbidden for cars and lorries, because they are taxed less than diesel fuels. In order to detect possible frauds, a scarlet colouring agent and two tracers which can be easily identified (diphenylamine and furfural), are added to the DFOs. Otherwise the chemical composition and other characteristics of DFOs are very similar to those of diesel fuel, which will be discussed below. 

Light oils—gasolines, rocket and jet fuels, solvents, tractor fuel, and kerosene. 

Tractor fuel oil is discussed by A. T. Colwell, but the motor fuel tax limitations, the need for cheapness, and the wide variety of engines make clear-cut specifications imposable. In general, the properties of fuels that have been marketed are somewhat as follows ... 

Distillate Fuels. Among these are stove gasoline (torches or lamps), tractor fuels, domestic fuel oils (stove or furnace), industrial distilled fuels, spray oils, insecticide, smudge oil, straw oil, absorption oil, and gas oil. Table 3-18 presents the propertie of these not closely specified oils. In northern New Jersey the average quality of No. 2 heating oil has been... 

Heavy distillate (straight-run distillate or SRD), containing compounds that boil in the range 205°C to 275°C (400°F to 530°F). This material is hydrotreated to remove sulfur compounds and can then be blended into heating oils and diesel fuels for trucks, railroad engines, and off-road applications such as tractors and mining equipment. 

The chief use of all but the non-volatile fractions is as fuel. The gas fraction, like natural gas, is used chiefly for heating. Gasoline is used in those internal combustion engines that require a fairly volatile fuel, kerosene is used in tractor and jet engines, and gas oil is used in Diesel engines. Kerosene and gas oil are also used for heating purposes, the latter being the familiar furnace oil. ... 

Gas oils have a brownish hue and are slow to evaporate. Diesel engines have made them important as fuels for trucks, tractors, locomotives and boats. They are also cracked to obtain gasoline. 

The relation of the chemist to this annual crop of fixed energy has been discussed by Hibbert. He says, According to a recent report of the United States Geological Survey, if the rate of production of crude oil in 1920, namely, about 443,000,000 barrels, continues to be maintained our supply of crude oil will have become entirely exhausted in about 13 years. Does the average citizen understand what this means In from 10 to 20 years thiB country will be dependent entirely upon outside sources for a supply of liquid fuel for farm tractors, motor transportation, automobiles, the generation of heat and light for the thousands of country farms, the manufacture of gaB, lubricants, paraffin, and the hundreds of other uses in which this indispensable raw material finds an application in our daily life.

American troops did not see Japanese flame throwing vehicles until they captured eight on Luzon in 1945. The weapons were placed on amphibious tractors, similar to American DUKW s. The Japanese did not have fuel thickeners comparable to American napalm, and had to use mixtures of crude oil, gasoline, and kerosene. Since Japanese troops employed portable flame throwers against Americans from early 1942 onward, it is difficult to explain why they did not use mechanized flame throwers. American troops learned by trial and error of the value of flame tanks, and perhaps the Japanese never threw off their conservatism sufficiently to give the tanks full-scale battle tests. ...

Kerosene, paraffin Fuel for Jet engines and tractors. Some uses as heating oil. Contains significant amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons. Paraffin Is the term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
