    I’m not trying to be a smartass, but wouldn’t the name “diesel fuel” be assigned after a certain substance was found to be the optimal fuel for a diesel engine?

        I know it’s a week later but this has been weighing on my mind.

        It has to be such right? I wouldn’t develop Krudler Fuel, with the hopes that in a couple years I will have completed development on the new Krudler Engine.

        That scenario would make no sense and illustrates that the naming of the fuel must have come later.
