Gas Oil

Description

Standard diesel fuel (sometimes called diesel oil) comes in two grades: Diesel*1 (D1) and Diesel*2 (D2). Diesel or Diesel fuel in general is any fuel used in diesel engines. Thats why its also commonly called as AGO or Automotive Gas Oil. Diesel fuel is a type of fuel derived from the distillation of oil that is heavier than gasoline but lighter than engine oil and heavy oil.
Gasoil is the second distillate from the crude and can be used without additives or reformers. The content of sulphur differentiates the gasoil. Low sulphur gasoil has a content below 0.2% whereas ultra low sulphur gasoil has less than 0.*2%. ISO (International Standardisation Organisation) set a standard for gasoil that most oil companies use as their reference. The GOST variant (Russia) for Gasoil is *****2 specifying the sulphur content of 0.*2% max.
