General CharacteristicsDiesel oils are a mix of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from crude oil through distillation and hydrogenation refining, usually boiling within 150 to 370°C. They may contain additives to improve their application characteristics such as depressants, detergents, lubrication additives and corrosion inhibitors.
