From each 42-gallon of crude oil, about 19.5 gallons of gasoline is produced.
When you ignite a mixture of potassium nitrate and diesel fuel, the potassium nitrate acts as an oxidizer, providing oxygen for the combustion of diesel fuel. The diesel fuel burns in the presence of the oxygen from potassium nitrate, resulting in a highly exothermic reaction that produces heat, light, and gases like nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. This reaction can be used in pyrotechnics to create controlled explosions or propulsion in rocket engines.
One gallon of diesel can contaminate up to 750,000 gallons of soil, depending on the concentration and type of diesel fuel spilled. Diesel contamination can have a significant impact on soil quality and can persist for a long time if not properly remediated.
Yes, diesel fuel can contain small amounts of benzene, which is a naturally occurring component found in crude oil. However, regulations limit the amount of benzene in diesel fuel to minimize health risks associated with its exposure.
Diesel and petrol engines work differently. Diesel engines use compression to ignite the air/fuel mixture, and have a much higher compression ratio than petrol engines, which use spark ignition. The conditions for ignition are not met when petrol is put into a diesel engine, and will stall.
There is not a clear cutoff point between "high and Low sulfur diesel". Ultra low sulfur diesel ULSD is what is currently required for on road use. ULSD can contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur (15 micrograms sulfur per gram of fuel or 0.0015 wt.%). Low sulfur diesel would contain more sulfur than ULSD and high sulfur diesel more than low sulfur diesel.
about 37 liters based on 9.83(estimates vary) gal/barrel (42gal) of distillate fuel oil (home heating and diesel)

From each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil, about 19.6 gallons of gasoline and 9.2 gallons of diesel fuel are refined.
About 9.21 gallons of diesel is refined from each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil.
Diesel fuel weighs 1 gallon
well the diesel get alittle bit more mpg but not much but the diesel burns cleaner the regular fuel
Ten liters of diesel fuel will weigh 8320 grams. One liter of diesel fuel weighs 832 grams. Ten liters of diesel fuel weighs about 18 pounds.
Eight to nine gallons.
Diesel fuel is the kind of fuel used by diesel engines. Its a combustible fuel refined from crude oil - just as is gasoline - but diesel has a much higher flash point than gasoline. Its grade is measured in cetane rather than octane
One barrel of Singapore Jet Fuel cost US$170.48 on 10th July 2008
Where I live in western Canada, diesel is $1.20 per litre today.
The density of petroleum diesel is about 0.85 kg/l
