The calorific value and ignition temperature of fuel A are $55 kJ / g$ and $80^{\circ} C$, respectively. These values for fuel B are $80 kJ / g$ and $10^{\circ} C$, respectively. On burning, the fuel A produces $CO _2$ and $H _2 O$ while the fuel B produces $CO _2, CO$ and $SO _2$. Give three points of relative and disadvantages of these two fuels.
