1. What It Is: Diesel Gas D2 (also known as Gasoil D2) is a distillate fuel derived from crude oil, used primarily in diesel engines. It is one of the most widely traded petroleum products globally
2. Key Characteristics:
- Type: Refined diesel fuel
- Color: Clear to light yellow
- Cetane Number: Typically 45–55 (affects combustion quality)
- Sulfur Content:
- High-sulfur D2: Up to 5,000 ppm (older standard)
- Low-sulfur (LS D2): <500 ppm
3. Common Standards:
- GOST 305-82 / 305-2013: Russian specifications
- EN590: European standard for automotive diesel
- ASTM D975: U.S. diesel fuel standard
4. Applications:
- Automotive diesel engines (cars, trucks, buses)
- Generators and industrial machinery
- Construction and agricultural equipment
5- Storage & Handling: Stored in sealed tanks to avoid contamination
, Shelf life depends on storage conditions and sulfur level
6. Environmental Notes:
Ultra-low sulfur D2 reduces emissions of SOx and particulates
, Widely used in countries with strict emission standards
