    State the property which related directly to the diesel fuels volatility or ability to be converted to gas?

    Why is it bugging you? You need the answer before the exam finishes? Sounds like your education is reaching a flash point...

    Damn, you get Google nowadays yet you can't work out your own assignment/exam question. Go do concreting mate. Obviously Deisel mechanics isn't for you!

    Damn, I sat on the gutter with books I flogged from a local library to do my H/W. I studied for my OP with stolen books whilst sitting on the side of the road and I still managed to get into Computer and Electrical engineering.

    Just shows that some people can't make the rightful use of resources!

    Anyway your answer:
    - Google

    Do some actual research, stop looking for the direct answer.
    If that's the only thing you got wrong in the exam, wouldn't you have passed?

    Going by that particular word, you have already been given the answer, maybe you weren't listening?

    you realize that this is does not make sense and therefore cannot be answered. It is not a sentence.

    glad it's not just me... seems to be missing something after the word 'ability'
    I can't figure out what the question actually is.

    I hope a teacher didn't write the question.

    is it meant to be:
    State the property which related directly to the diesel fuels volatility or ability, allows it to be converted to gas?

    It's a bit ambiguous, yes, but we don't see the questions preceding this one or what it refers to. There may be a few questions about the engine itself which would put this question in the correct context.

    Even the above is incorrect.

    This makes more sense.

    State the property which related directly to the diesel fuels volatility or the engine's ability to be converted to gas?

    Actually makes less sense, unless you intend vapourising the engine ;)

    OP - I hope thats not the question word for word as the teacher asked it? I'm concerned that A: the teacher cant speak english, and B: if you had done any study at all then my first post would have instantly rung the appropriate bells for you. The clue was hardly subtle lol

    Actually, upon reading the question again I was assuming the converting to gas part related to a diesel engine's abililty to be converted to LPG. My bad.

    But the original question makes sense as it is.

    I'm still not sure if I'm reading it the way it was intended. It's a very poorly worded question. 'Related' suggests it's referring back to a previous question or statement.
    And I think the question mark leads you to misread it, because it's not actually asking a question or it would start with something like 'what is...'

    After several reads & re-reads, I'm still confused as to what the question actually is
    I think something is missing. Whether it's part of the question or something else the question refers to.

    State the property which relates directly to diesel fuels volatility (or ability to be converted into gas)

    Makes perfect sense...

    Still not gonna give you the answer

    I dont think the word ability belongs just there either. I'd be going with 'State the property which (related directly to the diesel fuels volatility) allows it to be converted to gas.'

    If he wants the answer all he has to do is 'study' the thread, its been given several times. I guess study means something different these days.
