Diesel fuel is essential for Excavator mining and resource gathering. Can be found in various monuments including Airfield, Dome, and Junkyard. Best locations are Junkyard and two Oil Rig monuments. Can be purchased at Outpost using scrap
Heating value measures heat released during complete combustion of fuel. Combustion typically forms carbon dioxide and water with oxygen. Heat can be expressed as energy/mole, mass, or volume
Diesel fuel is specifically designed for diesel engines using compression ignition. Rudolf Diesel invented compression-ignition engine around 1892. Initially tested various fuels including kerosene, coal tar, and shale oil
Combustion is a high-temperature exothermic reaction between fuel and oxygen. Combustion produces oxidized products in smoke mixture. Flame is visible only when substances undergo combustion. Combustion requires activation energy but can be self-sustaining
Natural gas is a mixture of methane (95%) and other hydrocarbons. Forms underground from organic matter under anaerobic conditions. Contains traces of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and helium
Colorless gas with petroleum-like odor. Boiling point 10.8°F, melting point -255°F. Density 0.557 g/cm³, lighter than water. Vapor pressure 3.1 atm at 70°F
