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.

Molecular weight of petrol and diesel?
233 g/mole is average molecular weight of deseil
Why does diesel freeze quicker than petrol?
Diesel fuel and petrol/gasoline are similar; both of them are mainly mixtures of hydrocarbons. However, Diesel is considerably less volatile because it the compounds in it are of higher molecular weight; they have a higher boiling point ... and also a higher freezing point.

Where is the fuel pump on a 3004 Ford diesel?
Somewhere behind the time displacement capacitor, but in front of the molecular displacement reintegrator. Obviously you mean a 2004 Ford diesel, and I believe it is in the fuel tank.

Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Can you put diesel oil in a gas auto 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.
