Can You Light DIESEL With A Match?! | Ex-Machinery

I can only imagine the smell doing that inside 😮

One thing i will never understand is how can something that burns like this able to move a heavy truck,can someone explain!😢

Great demo! Showed me exactly what I needed to know. Props to you for being like, "This counter top looks like a great place to demonstrate burning fuel." Kitchen probably smelled like gasoline for weeks. 😆

It's looking like the fire at Luton airport carpark was defo an EV and not a diesel car 😂😂

any one here because of Luton.

1000°c match tip? Shouldn't that get the diesel way over 55° like stupid fast?

Airport fire ???

Makes you wonder how it caught fire and melted steel beams..

The flash point of petrol, also known as gasoline, typically ranges from -45°C to -50°C (-49°F to -58°F). .....?

But in your video it was written -23°C..

Can anybody please explain !

I can't get a candle to light diesel that easily.

Diesel will only ignite rapidly if the oil is mixed with a pile of paper or sawdust. I plan on running a sawdust stove with free diesel in the mix.

Hopefully, that fire will achieve a temperature hot enough to forge steel. Making free diesel shouldn't be that hard. Tires are your best diesel reserve.

Why do airplanes explode with jet fuel?

great video. Why did you put that abomination of a song on it?

Why you always want a diesel engine in your boat.

umm diesel is green. Almost the color of Mt Dew.

And this was why terminator 2 was impossible when the tow truck blew up....

Totally wrong! first of all the tip of a match is only 300°C and second diesel will burn with a match just put the diesel in a plant sprayer and put it on a fine mist spray. It will burn instantly when sprayed. Thats because gasoline evaporates much faster then diesel and it are the fumes from gasoline that burn rapidly when its a puddle.

fun fact: the m1 abrams uses diesel as a liquid armor against explosive munitions

This is why I never shut my diesel off when refueling but some people freak out b/c they don’t know any better.

Dude really did this in his kitchen and not outside.

"Lightning diesel"

Just what I wanted to know.

I assume your wife is at work...

So does that mean I can store emergency diesel in my vehicle?

OK, great educational video but please change the background music. It's horrible & annoying.

I use diesel to get my wood-stove burning. I just pour it over the wood. It's a lot safer than gasoline.

Where can I buy those matches? I'm trying to save on heat this winter

Never understood flash point until now, thanks!

That was pretty awesome thanks for sharing

Hold ma beer

I don't know maybe do it outside next time?

1: this is another click bait with more bs info as per :/
2: a match burns at around 600-800c so no clue where the heck you're getting 1000c from pal XD
3: diesel #1 has a flashpoint of 100f
4:diesel #2 has a higher flashpoint of 125f+
5: you're clearly using a deisel-mix to lower it's true flashpoint hence the (clickbait and bs info)
6: you officially SUCK
7: you're science is lacking facts
8: you clearly don't know your chemical physics
9: gasoline being a volatile chemical compared to diesel is an handicap experiment XD
10: did i already say you suck?! lol

happy days people :)

I thought the flash point of Gasoline was closer to minus 40 degrees C

Why the h*** did he light up gasoline INDOOR?

I remember our chemistry teacher telling us if you dropped a lit match onto a saucer of cold diesel it would probably extinguish the match. He was right.

"Honey, what happened to my dishes?"

Thank you for the experiment. Now I know what to buy to ignite shit. 😊

Do you know who has the fastest combustion? Diesel or Gasoline?

Yea and jet fuel won’t burn off. No match aswell!This is like 1st grade science lol!!

This is how we tested to see if there was gas in the diesel pump, the grass sprouting in the gravel burned but not the diesel

Why is done inside a kitchen?

See that black smoke coming off the gasoline fire. That’s enough for your insurance company to cancel your insurance.

Never do this shit indoors.

Does diesel permanently replacing Gasoline in the Future? Having a Diesel-powered Vehicles means less Danger than Gas.

what a great idea to do that in your house.

Diesel tank will be safe in accident but petrol can do blast💥

This was really cool definitely learned something new!
