That may be true, but when it is being sprayed at 55mph, quite a bit is vaporized and no longer in a "liquid" state. The auto ignition temperature of diesel is actually lower than gasoline. Diesel is 410F Gasoline is 477-536F. the exhaust manifold at highway speed is typically 700-800F. Jim Not sure what 55mph has to do with anything but that's the low pressure side of the fuel system still (pre cp4) and is roughly 58psi, no where close to any atomization.539Views0likes0Comments
