🔍 Key Concepts

• How fuel burns more efficiently when it is broken into very small droplets instead of a solid stream • Difference between filtering/cleaning fuel and preparing it for combustion in the burner or injector • Common terms used for fuel injection in diesel engines and burners

💭 Think About

• Which of these options describes a process that happens right before fuel enters the burner or injector, not in the tank or pipeline? • Which term is specifically about creating a fine mist or fog of fuel so it mixes better with air? • Which choices relate more to removing impurities versus improving the burn quality?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which terms are about cleaning or separating fuel (removing dirt/water/solids). • Identify which term means turning liquid into fine droplets for better burning and mixing with air. • Ask yourself: In a diesel injector or burner nozzle, what is the technical term for making fuel into a fine spray or mist?
