Useful information on diesel
Similar in composition to domestic fuel oil, diesel belongs to the medium distillate category.
Domestic fuel oil incurs a much lower mineral oil tax than diesel
To prevent domestic fuel oil being used instead of diesel, domestic fuel oil has been dyed since 1976 by adding a marker (furfural) to its ingredients. Road traffic is the main user of diesel (2/3 trucks, 1/3 cars). One of its most important properties is its thermal stability, determined by measuring its cold filterability. The other criteria used to assess diesel quality are ignition rate and distillation time.
