In North America, gas stations offer two types of diesel fuel – according to ASTM D975 [5] these are named No. 1 and No. 2 fuel. No. 1 fuel (similar to kerosene) has a natural CFPP of -40 °C but it is more expensive than No. 2 fuel. Adding No. 1 fuel will lower the CFPP of No. 2 fuel – adding 10% will lower the CFPP temperature by about 5 ...
The processing required to reduce sulfur to 15 ppm also removes naturally occurring lubricity agents in diesel fuel. To manage this change ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) adopted the lubricity specification defined in ASTM D975 [6] for all diesel fuels and this standard went into effect January 1 ...
In Europe, diesel cetane numbers were set at a minimum of 38 in 1994 and 40 in 2000. The standard for diesel sold in European Union, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland is defined by standard EN 590. Since 1 January 2001 EN 590 demands a minimum cetane index of 46 and a minimum cetane number of 51. Premium diesel fuel can have a cetane number as ...
D975-08a Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils (on and off-road applications) D396-08b Specification for Fuel Oils (home heating and boiler applications) D7467-08 Specification for Diesel Fuel Oil, Biodiesel Blend (B6 to B20) There are also DIN standards for three different varieties of biodiesel, which are made of different oils:
Due to the higher density, diesel fuel offers a higher volumetric energy density: the density of EN 590 diesel fuel is defined as 0.820 to 0.845 kg/L (6.84 to 7.05 lb/US gal) at 15 °C (59 °F), about 9.0-13.9% more than EN 228 gasoline (petrol)'s 0.720–0.775 kg/L (6.01–6.47 lb/US gal) at 15 °C, which should be put into consideration when ...

At the time of writing, the national average price of regular gas is $3.62 per gallon, $0.02 higher than this time last year. Drivers who use premium gas are paying $0.07 more this year than last ...
It's important because high pressure injection pumps are only lubricated by the fuel itself. ... Diesel (USA, Norm ASTM-D975): 550 - 600 μm [5] References
