So, there is such thing as wood gas generator, where wood, charcoal etc. are sublimated into so-called wood gas which powers internal combustion engine. Just a sidenote. | |
| Sep 12, 2011 at 13:44 | comment | added | ria | @endolith: questions that are about something which is true for diesel fuel, but completely wrong in relation to unleaded petrol. For example additives, problems at low temperatures, etc. Do you want questions about winter additives for diesel fuel only appear to someone searching for "petrol" in tags, and break his car by adding that stuff to his tank? | |
| Sep 12, 2011 at 2:16 | comment | added | endolith | @miernik: This is a site for questions about cars. I don't know of any cars that run on wood or uranium. What kind of question would need the distinction between diesel and gasoline in the tag? Sure they're different, but not different enough to have different tags. | |
| Apr 20, 2011 at 19:08 | comment | added | ria | @Iszi: Fuel is any material that stores energy that can later be extracted to perform mechanical work in a controlled manner. That includes Uranium, wood, even grass. Equating "fuel" with "unleaded petrol" is like equating "food" and "rice". Its not "technically they could", "fuel" simply is as broad term as "food". And "gas" is a very ambiguous term, for example over here in the context of cars it means a mixture of propane and butane. So please either remove those synonyms here, or also add synonyms for "rice" and "food" on Cooking.SE. | |

| Mar 9, 2011 at 13:19 | comment | added | Iszi | @Benjol - Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Generally, "fuel" and "gas" are presumed to refer to unleaded around here also. Though, technically, they could also refer to diesel. | |
| Mar 9, 2011 at 6:57 | comment | added | Benjol | Where I come diesel is also a fuel, but it isn't a synonym of petrol... | |
| Mar 8, 2011 at 7:25 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | N-O-W. "Now synonyms of fuel." My bad. Typo fixed. [status-completed] | |
| Mar 8, 2011 at 7:14 | comment | added | Iszi | @RobertCartaino - Wait, you lost me - "gas" and "petrol" are not synonyms of "fuel"? In the context of this site, I thought they would be - or at worst be a subset of it? | |
| Mar 8, 2011 at 7:09 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | Sounds reasonable to me. "Gas" and "petrol" are now synonyms of "Fuel". | |
