1. Diesel fuel

   Diesel fuel in general is any liquid fuel used in diesel engines, whose fuel ignition takes place, without any spark, as a result of compression of the inlet air mixture and then injection of fuel. (Glow plugs, grid heaters and block heaters help achieve high temperatures for combustion during engine startup in cold weather.) Diesel engines have found broad use as a result of higher thermodynamic efficiency and thus fuel efficiency. This is particularly noted where diesel engines are run at part-load; as their air supply is not throttled as in a petrol engine, their efficiency still remains very high. The most common type of diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, but alternatives that are not derived from petroleum, such as biodiesel, biomass to liquid (BTL) or gas to liquid (GTL) diesel, are increasingly being developed and adopted. To distinguish these types, petroleum-derived diesel is increasingly called petrodiesel. Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) is a standard for defining diesel fuel with substantially lowered sulfur contents. As of 2016, almost all of the petroleum-based diesel fuel available in the UK, mainland Europe, and North America is of a ULSD type. In the UK, diesel fuel for on-road use is commonly abbreviated DERV, standing for diesel-engined road vehicle, which carries a tax premium over equivalent fuel for non-road use. In Australia, diesel fuel is also known as distillate, and in Indonesia, it is known as Solar, a trademarked name by the local oil company Pertamina.

1. diesel fuel

   Diesel fuel is a type of liquid fuel that is specifically designed to be used in diesel engines. It is derived from petroleum and consists of hydrocarbons obtained from crude oil distillation. This fuel triggers combustion via the heat of compression in the engine cylinder, which distinguishes it from gasoline engines that use a spark for ignition. Its key characteristics, such as high energy density and efficient burning, make it widely used in heavy-duty vehicles, marine vessels, locomotives, and power generators.

Examples of diesel fuel in a Sentence

1. Jim Downey:

   Adoption rates of natural gas engines will ultimately depend on the price of diesel fuel.

2. Roald Amundsen:

   We use the batteries to take care of these peaks. When the engines produce excess energy, this is transferred into the batteries. This secures smooth and optimal running of the engines at all time, significantly reducing fuel consumption and Read MoreMaritime emissions, lNG is substantially less polluting than conventional diesel fuel and utilizing LNG as a component in different hybrid set-ups is a major step towards achieving Hurtigruten's ultimate ambition of sailing emission free.

3. Bert Ross:

   They're buying fuel using stolen credit card information, either they're getting the cards themselves or they're having them embossed, and using stolen credit cards to buy diesel fuel. They're transporting that fuel around the state, sometimes outside the state.

4. Randall Tyler:

   I kind of run on diesel fuel, it just gets in your blood.
