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.

Is the weight of diesel affected by temperature?

Yes, the weight of diesel fuel can be affected by temperature. As diesel is exposed to different temperatures, its volume can expand or contract, leading to a change in weight. Generally, diesel fuel will weigh less at higher temperatures and more at lower temperatures due to the difference in density.
