Diesel is a fuel burned in some vehicles. It is produced from petroleum, just like regular gasoline. The most popular/well-known brand of diesel engines is Powerstroke, from Ford Motor Company. Other forms of diesel are BioDiesel. BioDiesel is made out of corn. If you've ever heard of "B20" that means 20% BioDiesel. The mixture is 20% BioDiesel and 80% Regular Diesel. If you hear "B40" it is 40% BioDiesel and 60% Regular Diesel. If it is "B100" it is 100% BioDiesel and 0% Regular Diesel. That is what diesel is....
