There is no "formula" for diesel fuel. It is made up of the bits and pieces from a refined petroleum process blended together to meet certain criteia (like cetane number). In general it is the petroleum fractions with boiling points between 200 °C (392 °F) and 350 °C (662 °F). The materials are largely parraffins and cycloparaffins and aromatics. The average molecule in a diesel fuel contains 10 to 15 carbon atoms.
