For any given oil price, gas oil sells at a higher value because of its demand for motor diesel, whereas fuel oil sells at a price lower than the crude oil price (WTI, Tapis, Brent etc.). LSWR is linked to fuel oil prices usually (but not always) and sells at a slightly higher price but still well below the crude oil price.

Standard procedures for evaluating properdes of motor, diesel, and aviation fuels, crude petroleum, hydraulic fluids, and electric insnlaring oils. 

This test method covers the determination of the total amounts of monoaromatic and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon compounds in motor diesel fuels, aviation turbine fuels, and blend stocks by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The range of aromatics concentration to which this test method is applicable is from 1 to 7S mass %. The range of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations to which this test method is applicable is from O.S to SO mass %. 

The aromatic hydrocarbon content of motor diesel fuels is a factor which can affect their cetane number and exhaust emissions. The aromatic hydrocarbon content and the naphthalenes content of aviation turbine fuels affects their combustion characteristics and smoke-forming tendencies. These properties represent specifications for aviation turbine fuels (Specification D 1655). 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulates the aromatic content of diesel fuels. California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations place limits on the total aromatics content and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon content of motor diesel fuel, thus requiring an appropriate analytical determination to ensure compliance with the regulations. Producers of diesel fuels will require similar determinations for process and quality control. This test method can be used to make such determinations. 

This test method is applicable to materials in the boiling range of motor diesel fuels and is unaffected by fuel... 

Reference Fuel—A fuel (motor diesel fuel, aviation turbine fuel, or blend stock) with accepted values for both mass % tot aromatics and mass % polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons which have been established through cooperative testing in multiple laboratories. 

Accurately prepare weighed blends consisting of approximately 50 mass % and 25 mass % of a motor diesel fud in ii-C,5. 

Knowledge of their qu nt ty tjieir distribution by number of carbon atoms is Indispensable for the evaluation of low temperature behavior of diesel motor fuels as well as the production and transport characteristics of paraffinic crudes. 

Analysis of Aromatics in Diesel Motor Fuels by Liquid Chromatography... 

First of all, a technical clarification is necessary in the wider sense, motor fuels are chemical compounds, liquid or gas, which are burned in the presence of air to enable thermal engines to run gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuels. The term heating fuel is reserved for the production of heat energy in boilers, furnaces, power plants, etc. 

Thus, according to the definitions, diesel fuel (or gas oil) is not a heating fuel but a motor fuel. Incidentally, heavy fuel can be considered a heating fuel or a motor fuel depending on its application in a burner or in a marine diesel engine. 

With respect to fuels utilized as heating fuels for industrial furnaces, or as motor fuels for large diesel engines such as those in ships or power generation sets, the characteristics of primary importance are viscosity, sulfur content and the content of extremely heavy materials (asphaltenes) whose combustion can cause high emissions of particulates which are incompatible with antipollution legislation. 

For example, in the case of light Arabian crude (Table 8.16), the sulfur content of the heavy gasoline, a potential feedstock for a catalytic reforming unit, is of 0.036 weight per cent while the maximum permissible sulfur content for maintaining catalyst service life is 1 ppm. It is therefore necessary to plan for a desulfurization pretreatment unit. Likewise, the sulfur content of the gas oil cut is 1.39% while the finished diesel motor fuel specification has been set for a maximum limit of 0.2% and 0.05% in 1996 (French specifications). 

Unlike spark-induced combustion engines requiring fuel that resists autoignition, diesel engines require motor fuels, for vhich the reference compound is cetane, that are capable of auto-igniting easily. Additives improving the cetane number will promote the oxidation of paraffins. The only compound used is ethyl-2-hexyl nitrate. 

Heavy residue conversion is linked to the demand for high quality diesel motor fuel (aromatics content 10%, cetane number 55) as well as to the demand for production of light fuel-oil having very low sulfur, nitrogen and metal contents. 

Hydrocracking is a major process for the production of diesel motor fuel catalytic cracking is its counterpart for the gasoline production. 

Installation for Ultrasonic Testing AKV-S is designed for testing of diesel motors pistons. Particularly, this device identifies the areas with cracks and lowered adhesion on interfacial boundary between niresist ring and base material.
