🔍 Key Concepts

• ignition quality in fuel oils (often related to cetane number for diesels) • How fuel properties influence engine starting, combustion delay, and smooth running • Difference between fuel contaminants/abrasives and combustion characteristics

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens inside the cylinder of a diesel engine at the moment fuel is injected into highly compressed hot air. What property of the fuel matters most at that instant? • Which of these options is directly controlled by engine design (like compression ratio or spray pattern), and which depends mainly on the chemical/combustion behavior of the fuel? • How would poor ignition quality show up in actual operation: trouble starting, rough running, knocking, or changes to fixed engine geometry?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe physical engine design features versus fuel behavior features • Ask yourself which choice would be most critical when trying to start an engine that is cold and has cooler cylinder temperatures • Verify whether abrasive material and fuel penetration are usually linked to cleanliness/viscosity and injector condition, or to ignition quality itself
