Wikipedia
Fuel
A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work. The concept was originally applied solely to those materials capable of releasing chemical energy but has since also been applied to other sources of heat energy, such as nuclear energy (via nuclear fission and nuclear fusion).
Examples of use of fuel
1. Fuel rods Fuel is added to reactor by lowering fuel "stringers" into holes in core.
2. Fuel duty on a litre of unleaded fuel is 47.1p, while the fuel is also subject to value added tax.
3. He said: "A fuel leak is defined as any leakage of fuel from aircraft couplings, pipes or fuel tanks.
4. We must also press on with the development of much more fuel-efficient vehicles, be it hybrids, electric, flex-fuel or whatever, that gets significantly better fuel economy.
5. It is gas powered but saves fuel through a proprietary technology that replaces traditional fuel injection.
