Diesel is the heaviest distillate of crude oil and comes out of the bottom of the distillation towers in an oil refinery.
I refer you to the Channel 5 programme "How Do They Do It" Episode 10, still available on "Demand 5", where Robert Llewellin explains it all.
Non-renewable...
No, diesel is a petroleum based product, from oil, so it is not renewable.However, bio-diesel is now being manufactured from plant oil. This is renewable. Diesel engines will also run on recycled cooking oil, mostly from restaurants.Read the related questions below.
Yes, polythene, also known as polyethylene, is made from crude oil through a process called polymerization. Crude oil is refined to obtain ethylene monomers, which are then polymerized to form long chains of polyethylene molecules, creating the plastic material.
From each 42-gallon of crude oil, about 19.5 gallons of gasoline is produced.
There are approximately 7.33 barrels in 1 metric ton (MT) of diesel fuel.
No Diesel is one of many things made from crude oil.

refining of crude oil
Diesel is mainly made from crude(heavy) oil
oil that is not refined as much as gas
Oil and fossilized coal.
Deisel is made out of plants.
Gasoline is processed from crude oil. It is not oil but it is from oil. Diesel is a type of oil and it is also made from crude.
While diesel fuel is commonly made from petroleum, there are also non-petroleum alternatives. These alternatives include biodiesel, GTL diesel, and BTL diesel.
Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.
