Some petroleum fuels such as Bunker C or heavy diesel contain significant amounts of sulphidic compounds and some natural fuel gases are known as sour when they contain hydrogen sulfide. In both of these cases when the fuels are burned they will produce sulphur dioxide.
In automotive diesel there is a small amount of sulphur. This, because of the combustion conditions, is not released as sulpur dioxide, but as solid sulfate particulate.
Fuels which contain no sulphur (refined and treaterd by sulphur removal) do not give off sulphur dioxide.

Is an acidic gas given off when you burn sulfur?
Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.
What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?
Sulfur Dioxide is given off by coal-burning power plants
What chemical is given off in a burning flame?
The principal components are carbon dioxide, water, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, soot.
How many atoms are in 37.14 grams of sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur has relative atomic mass of 32 and oxygen have that of 16. The molar mass of sulfur dioxide is 64 grams per mole. Therefore there is approximately 0.58 moles (37.14/64) of sulfur dioxide in given weight.
What wastes given off by burning of foods?
carbon dioxide
What name is given to a solution of sulfur dioxide in rainwater?
If sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are in the atmosphere and they mix with the water vapour then it falls as acid rain
A gas given off when burning takes place?
During the burning process, oxygen combines with carbon to produce carbon dioxide.
What compound is always given off when a substance burns?
There is no deffinite answer. If Sulfur burms SO2 is given off. If Magnesium burns, MgO is produced. If a hydrocarbon burns Carbon Dioxide and water are given off.
What kind of smoke is given when burning an object?
The kind of smoke from a burning object depends on the object itself. The common smoke that is given off is Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and small amounts of Water Vapor.
What gas is given off during combustion that puts out flames?
hydrogen ------- During the burning of organic materials carbon dioxide is released.
What does given off when burning wood mean '?
When asked "What is given off", that basically means "What comes out of the fire". That includes smoke, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy.
How has petroleum become a major cause for global warming?
It is the combustion of petroleum which causes global warming. This is bcause petroleum is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. The combustion is given by the chemical equation: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 -> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O. It is rather obvious now that carbon dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming.Therefore, petroleum does not directly cause global warming. Industrial activites and motor engines which require combustion of petroleum for energy release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus causing global warming. Hence we can establish that petroleum is an indirect cause.Read more: Does_petroleum_cause_global_warming
