Could anybody advise the compressibility of Diesel fuel at 10 degrees Celsius?
Thanks

Compressibility of diesel fuel refers to the ability of the fuel to be compressed under pressure. This is an important property as it affects the performance and efficiency of diesel engines.
The compressibility of diesel fuel is important because it affects the fuel injection process in diesel engines. If the fuel is too compressible, it can cause problems with fuel delivery and combustion, leading to reduced engine performance and efficiency.
The compressibility of diesel fuel is affected by several factors, including the type and quality of the fuel, temperature, pressure, and the presence of any additives. Different fuel blends and additives can have varying levels of compressibility.
The compressibility of diesel fuel is typically measured using a device called a densitometer, which measures the density of the fuel under different pressures. The results are then used to calculate the fuel's compressibility.
If diesel fuel has a high compressibility, it can lead to issues with fuel delivery and combustion, resulting in decreased engine performance and efficiency. On the other hand, if the fuel has low compressibility, it may not properly atomize in the engine, also affecting performance. Both scenarios can also lead to increased emissions and potential engine damage.
