@Kam Lowe Yes. I know. Here in America we call them "Gasoline Service Stations," or "Gas Stations" for short. Of course, here in California the government would like to do away with them altogether and have 100% electric cars. But that's another story. Hello from California! :-)
Billy Blastoff I thought of that. But it’s such a common term in the US that it doesn’t make sense as a joke over here. So, it didn’t fly over my head. But thanks for the pointless insult!
Captain Joe, as a Kiwi who moved to the US 10 years ago I was also perplexed as to why they refer to petrol stations as gas stations. It was pointed out to me that another name for petrol is gasoline, hence gas stations... As always, a great and informative video, thanks!
The quality of your videos forgives the long delay you take to come back with one. You never disappoint captain, good luck with your busy times of the career.
Good video as usual. Two points: 1. In the USA we don't call it a 'gas station' because we thinking its a gas...we know it's liquid. It's short for gasoline. 2. TAT is always warmer that SAT (not usually) and it's a little bit to do with friction. But that vast majority of that warming comes from compression. In the video you only mention the friction and while it does play a factor it's the smaller cause. Keep up the good work!
Anadi Gaur, you are off to a great start, learning from a really intelligent pilot at such an inquisitive age. Stick with it, do your best in school & you'll be amazed at where you can end up. Without formal training, I was able to work as a mechanic, test tech, inspector, R & D tech for the DoD. It was hard but so satisfying! These days you must have a degree so stick to it & you will find it very rewarding! All the best partner! 😉👍
@@allgaming4045 all the best. These may be trying times but stick to it & i'm sure you'll do just fine. NO cheating, everything must be honest, no exceptions! Let me know how you do.😉
According to their website Neste Arctic Diesel has a cloud point of -40 only reference to anything lower is their plugging point of -44. I guess it has to be another country then.
Hello Captain Joe! I just want to let you know that you are my inspiration! I am 13 years old and I am looking forward to getting my commercial pilot license some day. I watch your videos every day and they always make me smile. I have some aviation questions to ask you and if you would please get back to me that would be a dream come true for me! you are awesome! I hope you like your job. so please email me back if you can and when you get the chance. Oh and, congratulations on hitting one million subscribers!!! (Captain Joe, you are cleared to land on RWY 1MS!!!)
Gas stations in Canada also switch the gasoline(petrol) blend in winter for a more volatile mix. It hurts the mileage but make it for an easier start in the cold.
lajya01 starting your car in the winter uses substantially more fuel. Never park your car at night with 1/4 or less of a tank of fuel. Also, gas line anti freeze is also helpful.
funnily enough: Luxembourg City has a great jazz bar called Liquid, with a fireplace and a terrasse overlooking the oldtown and the alzette river, pretty sure the Cargolux pilots know it too :)
We call it a “gas station” because we use the term Gasoline and not Petrol. Additionally, internal combustion engines burn fuel in vapor form and not liquid form. So your car does run on gas. :P
@@abdulmohammed5760 I am not saying that as you are presenting it but air does makeup roughly 93%(14.7:1 air/fuel) of the mixture in the vast majority of applications. 91% (11:1 air/fuel) is typically the lowest you will see in most normal applications. In the case of the latter, there is fuel that is not burned during combustion due to lack of oxygen or, as this is the ratio typically used during cold start, it is the result of the fuel not totally vaporizing. “Air”, while it is a gas, is a specific mixture of different gasses. Fuel (unleaded or diesel) is loaded and stored on a vehicle in liquid form, however, in the liquid state, the fuel does not burn. When the fuel is injected into the engine, the fuel quickly converts from its liquid state to a gaseous state. Now that the fuel is in this state it will burn rapidly. So, as I stated previously, internal combustion engines do not run on liquid and do run on gas.
the thing with that is that most countries either call it a fuel / petrol station because "petrol" is the international name for "gasoline". Gasoline is the same as petrol, american english just calls it gasoline for some reason. edit: some countries call it other things. Germans name it after Benzene, (Benzin, or Benzina in Italian), and some spanish countries call it Nafta (from the word Naphtha). But, Petrol is standard in most varieties of English, except US. "Gasoline" also confuses non english speakers, there are gas fuels (Natural Gas for example), so you can understand his confusion. Imagine being an 2nd language english speaker who hears that "gas" (normally a gaseous substance) refers to a LIQUID fuel. Confusing, no?
@@calum5975 Exactly. For example, if you say "Gas", you could be referring to Petrol, Natural Gas, LPG, CNG, any of these. That could be really confusing.
That's the problem with everybody outside USA. Use metric not imperial, is bonnet not hood, is petrol not gas, is boot not trunk, is a hood and not convertible top, is tyre not tire, is spelled colours not colors, etc, etc. Everybody is so obsessed in telling us how to talk. People, is called FREEDOM! :D :D We call it whatever we like and you can suck it! :D :D And, yes, is is short for gasoline as Hector stated. No worries, we still love and welcome Brits and Aussies in the states. Our differences make for good pub conversations and yes, sometimes a brawl or two. ;)
A Gas station, because it sells gas, a short hand for gasoline. Gas is actually more accurate than petrol, because petrol is shorthand for petroleum, which is vague, since both diesel and gasoline are petroleum products, where as gas is specifically gasoline.
Well I have never seen a station that sells only gasoline. Maybe in US? In Europe they always have both benzin and diesel in which case "petrol station" in it's vagueness is perfect.
@@veeaa In US the automotive fuel market has been for very long time mainly based on GASOLINE. Only trucks were filling up with gasoil. That's the reason why they called them GAS (oline) STATIONS. Only recently Americans began to move to diesel engines. Hope it will help
Wonderful video thank you Captain Joe. This helps me reminisce about the time I went to visit my girlfriend in Yekaterinburg. I got on the train at Vladivostok and told the train conductor upon boarding, that I wanted to go to the Urals. He said that I could not do so while the train was standing in the station, but once we got rolling I was able to relieve myself. Upon reaching my girlfriend's shack we attempted to light a bonfire in the garden as it was -40 out there!!. I threw a bucket of petrol on a candle but that did not work. The day warmed up to about -39 and as I threw another bucket of petrol on the candle...suddenly there was a FLASH!!!!!!,...but that's just because my girlfriend punched me straight in the eye as I suggested that she should wash my socks, iron my underpants...and make sure that my supper was on the table at a reasonable time. Russian women are sometimes delightful, but don't mess with them!!!......
4:00 We call it a gas station because even though we're fueling our cars with liquid, we can still smell the gasoline as it goes in to the car, no matter how new the equipment or tight the connection. In America, we refer to classic black unrefined crude oil as petroleum. We also refer to ultrasound jelly as petroleum jelly (we also use this term for Vaseline skin cream sometimes as well, but only rarely).
Funny you should bring up the topic of Germany and freezing diesel. In 1986 whilst driving an Army Bedford 4ton truck on the autobahn the fuel began to freeze it was that cold. The engine power kept fading then picking up again until finally the vehicle came to a complete stop. Within minutes the windscreen completely froze over. REME came along and put a flame under the fuel tank to try and liquifiy the diesel again...thankfully this worked until I got back to barracks 30km away. Thanks Joe.
Migz Basada unfortunately that is not possible because there is not much speacial things about double decker and single decker. Only Passenger or cargo amount
Yeah it's short for gasoline. I think Joe knows that though and is just teasing us for having "gas stations" that sell a thing we generally call "gas" which is a liquid, which is admittedly pretty silly
@@GiddeonFox Short for gasoline. Though, very technically, while its a liquid when you fill your car, an engine runs on atomized fuel (essentially a vapor/"gas") mixed with air. This is also essentially the case for LPG (which I know is somewhat common in Europe and not here in the states).
Captain JOE, Congratulations, on your surpassing 1 million , I think lots of folks might not know that most JET FUEL ( kerosene) has an ALGAECIDE, AS WELL AS A DE ICING ADDATIVE, BUT AT smaller airports they need to add PRISST,,TO THE FUEL, FOR THE DEICING IDEA,,,,,,,Cheers,,from NJ, USA
It's amazing how complicated things can become, the further we move beyond 'walking speed'. All this complexity elevates captains and admirals [plus engineers] to the lofty position of having to be brilliant.
I'm going to have to correct you on 3:58. There's no combustion engine in the world that runs on a liquid. You're normally pretty good with your science but liquids don't burn gases do, which is why you have a flash point. There must be enough ambient energy for some of the liquid to move into a gaseous state. The gas ignites, increasing the ambient temperature, creating more gas vapor, and thus the cycle continues until the fuel source is exhausted.
Delta flight 3040 you are cleared to land at runway *_1,0 L_* 00,000. Get it? Runway 10 L is a runway in KSFO, and Delta flight is a flight from KATL to KSFO... And you just reached 1,000,000 subscribers!
RU-vid thing. When first uploaded, it processes the low-res videos first and it takes a bit for the higher res videos to become available. Just means you caught it early.
You gotta love the British and their "petrol stations" and their "filling in" of documents/paperwork.....lol! Love you, guys! We will walk off into the sunset, with "aluminum" though...! Lol.....
we call it a gas station because the most common fuel used is gasoline, shortened to gas. And technically it does run on gas,because what gets injected into the combustion chamber is in the gaseous state. haha we got you there Joe! and congrats a lot on hitting 1 mil!
