Is There 95-Grade Diesel?
2 Answers
There is no 95-grade diesel fuel. Below is an introduction to diesel categories: 1. Diesel grades include 0#, 5#, 10#, -10#, -20#, -35#, and -50# diesel. 2. 5# diesel is suitable for temperatures above 8°C. 3. 0# diesel is suitable for temperatures between 4°C and 8°C. 4. -20# diesel is suitable for temperatures between -5°C and -14°C. 5. -35# diesel is suitable for temperatures between -14°C and -29°C. 6. -50# diesel is suitable for temperatures between -29°C and -44°C. Below is additional information about diesel: 1. Diesel is a light petroleum product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon atom numbers ranging approximately from 10 to 22). 2. It is primarily produced by blending diesel fractions obtained through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. It can also be produced from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction. 3. There are two main categories: light diesel (boiling range approximately 180°C to 370°C) and heavy diesel (boiling range approximately 350°C to 410°C). Diesel is widely used in large vehicles, railway locomotives, and ships.
You're asking about 95 diesel, right? Actually, this is a common misconception. To be honest, diesel fuel doesn't have a 95 rating at all. I've been driving for many years, hauling goods over long distances, and diesel grades are based on cold temperature resistance. For example, 0# is standard diesel, and -10# is suitable for cold winter regions. It's gasoline that has ratings like 92 and 95, which indicate anti-knock performance. At gas stations in China, you'll commonly find diesel labeled as 0#, 5#, and -10#. If you fill up with the wrong fuel, like putting gasoline in a diesel vehicle, it could damage the engine or prevent it from starting. My advice is to carefully check the labels on the fuel pump or consult your user manual to be safe. Don't be fooled by the numbers – when driving a diesel vehicle, you need to pay attention to fuel quality and climate compatibility.
