Diesel just like gasoline and kerosene are a refinement of crude oil.

Diesel is known as 'diesel oil' or 'heavy oil' and is the heaviest distillate of crude oil. Petrol is a spirit and is the lightest distillate.

Diesel and light oil are not the same, although they are related. Diesel fuel is a specific type of light oil derived from crude oil, designed for use in diesel engines.
