At What Temperature Does No. 0 Diesel Freeze?
1 Answers
No. 0 diesel will freeze at -8 degrees Celsius. Diesel is classified into six grades of light diesel (5, 0, -10, -20, -35, -50) and three grades of heavy diesel (10, 20, 30) based on their freezing points. The selection of diesel depends on the temperature during use; No. 0 diesel can only be used when the temperature is above 4 degrees Celsius. Diesel is a light petroleum product and a complex hydrocarbon mixture, serving as fuel for diesel engines. It is primarily produced by blending diesel fractions obtained from processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. It can also be derived from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction.
