From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Fuel is any material that is burned or altered to obtain energy and to heat or to move an object. Fuel releases its energy either through a chemical reaction means, such as combustion, or nuclear means, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. An important property of a useful fuel is that its energy can be stored to be released only when needed, and that the release is controlled in such a way that the energy can be harnessed to produce work. Examples: Methane, Petrol and Oil. All carbon-based life forms—from microorganisms to animals and humans—depend on and use fuels as their source of energy. Their cells engage in an enzyme-mediated chemical process called metabolism that converts energy from food or light into a form that can be used to sustain life. Additionally, humans employ a variety of techniques to convert one form of energy into another, producing usable energy for purposes that go far beyond the energy needs of a human body. The application of energy released from fuels ranges from heat to cooking and from powering weapons to combustion and generation of electricity. From Wikipedia under the

Also, what the *** is wrong with people these days isn't there a way to get better fuel mileage than 6-7 gallons per mile on an airplane, when you're traveling thousands of miles at a time? Asked by V H - Sun Jul 20 11:33:18 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. According to British Airways, a 747-400 plane cruises at 576 mph (927km/h), burns 3378 US gallons (12,788 liters) of fuel per hour, and carries 409 passengers when full: If the plane is 75% full, one passenger is carried 52.2 miles for each US gallon of fuel burned (22.2 km for each liter of fuel burned).This fuel efficiency exceeds that of almost all cars, when the driver is traveling alone. So, to answer your question, it is actually MORE fuel efficient to travel large distances in a place (Provided it is at least 75% full) than it is to drive the same distance. Depending on distance, it may also be cheaper. You see, you have to factor in the number of passengers that can fit in a plane and determine passenger miles per gallon.

I have heard to remove the fuse for the fuel pump and let the car run until it dies because of lack of pressure. I have also heard that i need to release the schrader valve and let it depressurize.. I also know that the saturn fuel filter is extra expensive because it has a built in fuel pressure regulator, but i don't think that will help me in the changing process. help?

Q. I have a kitchen torch from crate and barrel that needs fuel, but what kind of fuel do I need to use? Asked by agentdragonfly27 - Thu Jan 11 14:44:59 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Use the fuel that the torch is designed to burn. Check the manufacturer's website if you don't have the instructions. We use a propane torch from the garage to do stuff like that, And one other thing, if you're going to use a torch in your kitchen, make sure that you also have a fire extinguisher handy. Good luck and good eats.
