Why is Diesel Fuel More Expensive Than Gasoline?

Diesel oil is a light petroleum product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons (about 10 to 22 carbon atoms). Fuel for diesel engines. It is mainly composed of diesel fractions produced by crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, petroleum coking and other processes; it can also be produced by shale oil processing and coal liquefaction. Divided into light diesel oil (boiling point range of about 180 ~ 370 ° C) and heavy diesel oil (boiling point range of about 350 ~ 410 ° C) two categories. Widely used in large vehicles, railway locomotives, ships.

Lightweight

Depending on the density, it is customary for petroleum and its processed products to have a lower boiling point or a lower boiling point range. Generally divided into light diesel and heavy diesel.

Method and method for synthesizing biodiesel by using oil and fat raw materials

1. Prevent the mixing of water and mechanical impurities.

2. It is strictly forbidden to mix with gasoline for lighting or kerosene stove fuel.

3. Diesel must be precipitated, filtered, and impurities and water removed before use to ensure the normal operation of the diesel fuel supply system.

4. At low temperatures, in order to improve the low-temperature fluidity of diesel, a small amount of kerosene is allowed to penetrate into the diesel, but the flash point may be unqualified. However, gasoline must not be added to diesel to improve the low temperature fluidity of diesel.

5. Diesels of the same grade with different grades have the same quality index except for the freezing point and the cold filtration point, so when the resources are insufficient, they can be mixed under the conditions of suitable temperature and oil.

6, strictly prevent exposure to heat and open flame, try to store at a lower temperature. The necessary preheating can be carried out when using diesel in winter.

This product is invasive to human body: mainly absorbed through the skin and inhaled through the respiratory tract.

LD50 and LC50 are not available. The toxicity of diesel is similar to that of kerosene, but due to additives such as sulfurized esters

Diesel is fueled by diesel

Since 2016, the domestic retail price of refined oil products has experienced 4 declines and 7 increases, and gasoline and diesel prices have increased by 670 yuan / ton and 645 yuan / ton respectively during the year. ^[2]

The National Development and Reform Commission announced on November 30 that, based on the recent changes in international oil prices and the current pricing mechanism for refined oil products, starting at 24:00 on November 30, 2016, domestic gasoline and diesel prices increased by 175 yuan and 170 yuan per ton, respectively. yuan. This is the eighth increase in gasoline and diesel prices in China.

According to the analysis of the Development and Reform Commission's Price Monitoring Center, this round of price adjustment cycle was affected by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) production limitation meeting. Crude oil prices in the international market fluctuated sharply and the overall level rose. It is expected that the crude oil market will remain in oversupply. Short-term attention should be focused on the November 30 OPEC meeting. If the limit of production exceeds market expectations, international oil prices may surge above $ 50 per barrel. However, given the wide differences among OPEC member countries, if only a certain form of production restriction agreement is reached, international oil prices are expected to rise slightly.

So far, gasoline and diesel prices have gone through 23 rounds of price adjustment cycles, including 5 downward adjustments, 8 upward adjustments, 4 "stranded" because the price adjustment amount is less than 50 yuan per ton, and 6 times because the international oil price is lower than 40 US dollars per barrel. "Floor price" is not adjusted. The price of gasoline has been raised by 480 yuan per ton, and the price of diesel has been increased by 460 yuan per ton. ^[3]
