FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.

Speculation about possible causes of an onboard explosion centers on a rupture of the helium tank for an x-ray detector cooling system, fuel leakage from the attitude control engines, and a battery malfunction.

Not exact matches

The New Plastics Economy presents three key platforms: creating an effective after - use plastics economy by improving global recycling efforts, reducing the leakage of plastic waste into the environment, and decoupling plastic from the fossil fuels used to create it.

A leakage of gas from one of two gas fuel stations in the enclave around the Atomic Junction reportedly triggered fire, which extended to an adjoining Total Filling Station causing two explosions that sent fireballs into the skies.Hundreds of passengers, traders and residents in and around the Atomic Junction area fled their homes and workplaces for safety as the explosions lit the skies and caused severe heat waves.Electricity supply to most part of the area was cut off as some transformers were affected.

If faced with the choice of shutting down either a typical coal plant or a typical gas plant and methane leakage from the natural gas plant is below about 2 percent of total fuel, there would be a short - term climate benefit to shutting down the coal plant instead of the natural gas plant, the team found.

This was the first stage of a programme to remove unused and used fuel from the reactor to counter the risk of further radiation leakage.

Methane emissions from fossil fuel industry and natural geological leakage are up to 110 per cent greater than current estimates, according to a detailed analysis of methane sources published in Nature this week.

To make the reactor self - sufficient in case of any leakage, including a break in the main circulation pump, it is possible to use additionally the water from the spent fuel storage pool for at least 72 hrs (an extra inventory of about 800 m3).

The fee for unconventional fossil fuels, such as oil from tar sands and gas from hydrofracking, should include carbon released in mining and refining processes, e.g., methane leakage in hydrofracking [245]--[249].

Fuel leakage and fire could result from a rear collision because the fuel tank can be punctured by a flange attachmFuel leakage and fire could result from a rear collision because the fuel tank can be punctured by a flange attachmfuel tank can be punctured by a flange attachment.

The fuel injectors on Subaru PZEV vehicles close tighter than conventional injectors to prevent evaporative emissions from fuel leakage into the intake manifold.

On a pragmatic note - there is understandably concern over leakage - especially from the non-geoscience community - but this concern needs to be balanced by the fact that each day we delay capturing and storing the CO2 from fossil fuel use we have 100 % leakage to the sky.

Therefore, if switching to natural gas from coal reduces the amount of CO2 you emit, you can tolerate quite a large amount of leakage and still come out ahead, because the warming caused by the leakage will go away quickly once you eventually stop using natural gas (and other fossil fuels), whereas the warming you would get from all the extra CO2 you'd pump out if you stuck with coal would stay around forever.

It takes a far, far higher leakage rate to completely negate the benefits of switching, and even then you'd wind up coming out ahead from the switch a few decades after you stop using fossil fuels.

About one - quarter of the total emissions are related to fossil fuel extraction (CH4 emissions from coal mines, CH4 venting from oil extraction), transport and distribution (e.g., leakage from pipelines), and consumption (incomplete combustion).

So, although methane leakage reduces the short - term emissions benefit of switching from coal to gas — and should be addressed for that reason — it does not limit natural gas's potential as a bridge fuel to a low - carbon future.

The fee for unconventional fossil fuels, such as oil from tar sands and gas from hydrofracking, should include carbon released in mining and refining processes, e.g., methane leakage in hydrofracking [245]--[249].

Although radiation leakage has been reported, the reactor core containment is said still to be intact, But if the cooling operation is not successful then there is a risk that, aside from the (hopefully low) possibility of a explosion as at Chernobyl, or a hydrogen explosion (as was feared at one time at Three Mile Island in the USA), melting fuel could burn through the core and the floor of the reactor building and enter the soil, a risk that would be heightened if the floor structure was cracked by the earthquake.

Cutting methane leakage rates from natural gas systems to less than 1 percent of total production would ensure that the climate impacts of natural gas are lower than coal or diesel fuel over any time horizon.

Moreover shale gas is still a fossil fuel, so burning it produces CO2 - and any leakage from fractured strata could be serious for the climate, since CH4 is a much more powerful greenhouse gas.

Successfully represented large property insurer in Connecticut state court litigation involving a first - and third - party claim for damage caused by the leakage of nearly 400 gallons of fuel oil from an oil tank onto and around the insured property.
