The following are some important liquid fuels

1. Petrol or gasoline - It is the lightest and most volatile liquid fuel, mainly used for light rol engines. It is distilled at a temperature from 65 to 220 degree C.

2 Kerosene or paraffin oil - It is heavier and less volatile fuel than the petrol, and is used as heating and lighting fuel. It is distilled at a temperature from 220 to 345 degree C.

3. Heavy fuel : The liquid fuels distilled after petrol and kerosene are known as heavy e oils. These oils are used in diesel engines and in oil-fired boilers. These are distilled at a temperature of 345 degrees C to 470 degrees C.

Nice information @Kukku.

Which fuel has the highest calorific value?

Solid fuel, liquid or gaseous fuel, Please tell me.

@Farhan.

The highest calorific value in gaseous fuel.

Which fuel is distilled at the temperature of 470 to 550 degrees C? Explain, please.

High-speed diesel used in Aeroplane.
