The Petrogen® Liquid Fuel Cutting System is a solid, proven technology that brings you unequally safety, performance, and cost savings. Petrogen makes cuts that are impossible with any other torch, incredibly fast and clean with less airborne contaminants. Petrogen cuts up to 14 inches of steel. The powerful flame easily cuts through layers and across air gaps, through rust, paint, even concrete-backed steel without popping. Petrogen fuel is regular liquid gasoline, kept liquid from the tank to the tip. The Petrogen System is much safer than compressed gas systems such as acetylene or propane. Fuel line backflash is impossible! Many built-in safety features provide the safest cutting torch made. [Text followed by an illustration. ] 2, record 5, English, - Petrogen%C2%AE%20torch

One example of the butane stove is the Bleuet S-200. At above-freezing temperatures it has high heat output per unit weight and offers the advantage of quick starting. Butane has about 7% more energy that gasoline on a weight basis, 14% less on a volume basis. The stove does not have the continuous, even heat output of the gasoline or kerosene stove. When the tank is almost empty, output is about 30% of the initial amount. 1, record 6, English, - butane%20stove

Energy varies in its quality or ability to do useful work. For useful work to occur energy must move or flow from a level of high-quality(more concentrated) energy to a level of lower-quality(less concentrated) energy.

Parmi les diverses formes de l'énergie, la chaleur correspond à des mouvements désordonnés des molécules. Au contraire, les autres formes d'énergie, que l'on peut qualifier de «nobles», sont ordonnées à l'échelle microscopique. Elles ont donc tendance à se changer en chaleur. Ce phénomène est appelé la dissipation, et l'on dit que la chaleur est une forme dégradée de l'énergie. Il est facile de produire de la chaleur à partir d'une quantité équivalente d'énergie noble, par exemple dans des fours et chaudières, électriques ou à combustion, ou des capteurs solaires pour chauffe-eau. 2, record 7, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20noble

Methanol alcohol is used as a winter treatment for automobile gasoline-so called "fuel line antifreeze". Actually, it's not an antifreeze at all in the sense that it doesn’t prevent the water in your gas tank from freezing. Since water won’t mix with gasoline and rolls around on the bottom of your tank it freezes in winter. If it gets in your fuel line it will cause fuel line freeze-ups. Water dissolves in alcohol, and alcohol dissolves in gasoline and it is in this way that your tank is purged of water. 5, record 10, English, - fuel%20line%20antifreeze
