What is happening when my car stalls......?
Yes, everything has a freezing point. There are even products you can buy to help prevent fuel line freeze up.yes most definitely. Most petrol stations sell gasline antifreeze. It has to be really quite cold though , minus 40 celcius would do it.
do you have a schematic for a mazda 87 pickup carburator hoses?
i live in northern minnesota where it has gotten -45 degrees and have never had gas freeze in a can.How do I hook up turnsignals buildt into the mirrors?
Really cold.how do i properly break-in a newly overhauled car?
Based on some of the information I remember when I worked briefly as a lab tech for a petroleum test lab . . .
94 cavalier squeals while running, what is the problem?
Fuels like gasoline are really a cocktail of hydrocarbons. Thicker, oil-like stuff at room temperature with some thinner ones, and also aromatics that are gaseous at room temperature. So by freezing, you mean, when does it turn solid? The heavier hydrocarbons will start to solidify sooner than the aromatics.
anyone got any horror stories from arnold clark?
The flash point of gasoline is about -97F, meaning that it will still burn at 97 degrees below zero. Most labs won't even have the ability to chill a sample down that far to find out! Even the -97F mark is going to vary, based on the additives in the sample.
can I drive a short distance with this wrong?
Of course, if there is any water mixed in with the fuel, it can still freeze at around 32F, but that may depend on if there are any alcohols mixed with the sample. Methyl alcohol is a common additive you can buy to help keep water in your gas tank from freezing at low temperatures.
The thicker, heavier hydrocarbons, like paraffin will become solid at atmospheric temperatures. Some of the aromatics won't turn solid until -200F to -300F. Not something you'll see outside of a lab.
For more information, the American Society for Tests and Measurements (ASTM) has written a whole bunch of methods for testing, well . . . everything really, but list some methods that may be relevant: Methods D1015, and D1016 talk about freezing points of refined hydrocarbons. For $12 each, you can buy the method from ASTM.

Diesel and Jet Fuel are a different story.
yes. not the gas itself. but the water thats in it.
How Much would a rebuilt transmission and a tort converter cost with out labor?
Gas-line antifreeze is not to prevent the gasoline from freezing, but water that may have mixed in with the fuel. Methyl alcohol will combine with the water, and lower it's freezing point. Gasoline will still burn at -49 F. It can feeze, but at much lower temperatures than we would normally experience.Anyone know were I can find an acura ecu #37820-p8e-a51 near whitteir CA?
Gas won't freeze, any water in it will.no, but it will gel and become too thick to flow though your fuel pump or injectors.
