Why do diesels last longer?

Diesel Fue. Another reason diesel engines last longer than gas engines is due to the fuel that they burn. Diesel fuel is a type of distillate fuel that is essentially produced from crude oil, which gives diesel engines slower cylinder wear than gasoline engines. The leaner air to fuel ratio helps cool the EGT's.

What creates black smoke?

In general, a hotter fire will convert more fuel into elemental carbon, which forms into tiny particles that absorb light and appear in the sky as black smoke. A cooler combustion-or one that doesn't work as efficiently-yields less-pure forms of carbon. These tend to reflect light, making the smoke look white. Why does some wood burn black smoke? Dense, black smoke is a sign that the combustion is not optimal, usually because the fire in the wood stove is not intense enough. When the wood stove burns optimally, only a bit of steam and some light, odour-free smoke escapes from the chimney.

What does blue smoke mean in a fire?

The holy grail of a barbecue pitmaster is "clean smoke" or "blue smoke." To achieve this, the hardwood is left outside to air-dry for about one year so that the moisture content is below 20 percent.
