Description
Diesel Fuel in general is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in diesel engines, in which fuel ignition takes place, without any spark, as a result of compression of the inlet air mixture and then injection of fuel. Therefore, diesel fuel needs good compression ignition characteristics. The most common type of Diesel Fuel is a specific fractional distillate of Petroleum Fuel Oil - also called Petrodiesel, Fossil Diesel is produced from the fractional distillation of Crude Oil between 200°C and 350°C (392°F and 662 °F) at atmospheric pressure, resulting in a mixture of carbon chains that typically contain between 9 and 25 carbon atoms per molecule. Alternatives that are not derived from Petroleum, such as Biodiesel, Biomass To Liquid (BTL) or Gas To Liquid (GTL) Diesel are increasingly being developed and adopted.
