up of the fuel and oxidisers (see stoichiometry). The most common modern fuels are made up of hydrocarbons and are derived mostly from fossil fuels (petroleum). Fossil fuels include diesel fuel‚ gasoline and petroleum gas‚ and the rarer use of propane. Except for the fuel delivery components‚ most internal combustion engines that are designed for gasoline use can run on natural gas or liquefied petroleum gases without major modifications. Large diesels can run with air mixed with gases and a pilot

Waste plastic disposal and excessive use of fossil fuels have caused environment concerns in the world. Both plastics and petroleum derived fuels are hydrocarbons that contain the elements of carbon and hydrogen. The difference between them is that plastic molecules have longer carbon chains than those in LPG‚ petrol‚ and diesel fuels. Therefore‚ it is possible to convert waste plastic into

• Natural gas is an odorless‚ colorless‚ flammable gas. It is non-toxic and lighter than air. • The gas chiefly consists of methane (CH4)‚ but also contains other hydrocarbons such as ethane‚ butane‚ propane and naphtha.
