What is the Molecular weight of diesel fuel?

233 g/mole estimated average molecular weight. Diesel fuel, like other petroleum products, is not one specific chemical compound but a complex mixture of organic compounds separated into ranges by their boiling point. For this reason, diesel doesn't have a specific molecular weight. However, you can talk about an "average molecular weight" of the mixture. EPA lists an estimated average molecular weight for diesel of 233 g/mole. http://www.epa.gov/athens/learn2model/part-two/onsite/es.htm The actual average molecular weight of diesel will vary from sample to sample depending on what grade of diesel it is (i.e. #1 diesel is light diesel), feedstock of the diesel, and the refining process of the diesel.
