A typical value of Diesel fuel density is 0,832 g/cm3.
But must be mentioned that the density may be different for each refinery.
8,900 pounds....empty diesel fuel tank
If you are asking about diesel fuel, one gallon of diesel fuel weighs about 7 pounds.That's the American gallon, a British gallon of diesel would weigh about 8 pounds.
500
5-7 lbs dependeing on temp
Based on Type 2 diesel fuel, one Imperail gallon of fuel will weight 8.93 lbs
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.
The average weight of one gallon of #2 fuel oil is 7.2 pounds. Water weighs 8.34#/gal.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Only if you have time to fix the resulting non running mess. Diesel fuel, no. Diesel engine oil, yes if it is the proper weight.
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
There are several causes for high fuel consumption in a diesel engine. These include a difference in the weight of the vehicle, increased usage of air conditioning, and a difference in tire pressure.
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.
