A good fuel should have a high ignition point.
Added by Roger J.
Step 1
It is the temperature at which a fuel will start to burn or ignite. Now, if a fuel has a high ignition point, it means that it requires a higher temperature to ignite. This can be beneficial in certain situations, such as in engines where the fuel needs to be Show more…
