D2 Diesel
Diesel is also known as gas oil, fuel oil for engines (ACPM, according with its acronym in Spanish) or D2 and by its origin as petrodiesel. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from the fractional distillation of crude oil, have carbon chains formed between 10 and 28 atoms.
Uses:
Among the applications of D2 diesel is the consumption in diesel engines of heavy or medium duty, in cargo, transport and private cars, is also used to generate mechanical and electrical energy. This fuel is mass consumed and is cheaper than gasoline because it is easier to obtain.
