Diesel Fuel D2 is a widely used petroleum distillate fuel that conforms to the ASTM D975 and ISO 8217 standards for middle distillates. It is commonly referred to as Gasoil and is mainly employed in diesel engines, industrial machinery, marine transport, and power generation. Unlike ultra-low sulfur diesel (EN590 10 PPM), traditional D2 diesel may contain higher sulfur levels, depending on regional regulations, making it suitable for markets where emission restrictions are less stringent.
Typical properties include:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM D975, ISO 8217 |
| Sulfur Content | 500 ppm (low-sulfur D2) up to 5,000 ppm (high-sulfur D2, depending on region) |
| Cetane Number | ≥ 45 |
| Density at 15°C | 820 – 860 kg/m³ |
| Viscosity at 40°C | 1.9 – 4.1 mm²/s |
| Flash Point | ≥ 55 °C |
| Pour Point | -5 °C to -15 °C (varies by grade and climate zone) |
| Distillation Range | 180°C – 370°C |
| Lubricity | Adequate for standard diesel injection systems |
Values may vary depending on crude origin, refinery process, and regional specifications.
• Moderate sulfur content, depending on grade (low-sulfur or high-sulfur).
• Reliable ignition quality with sufficient cetane number.
• Versatile fuel for industrial, automotive, and marine applications.
• Good energy content (~43 MJ/kg) ensuring efficient combustion.
• Wider availability compared to ultra-low sulfur grades, especially in developing markets.
• Automotive diesel engines in trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles (where permitted).
• Industrial machinery including mining, agricultural, and construction equipment.
• Marine fuel for ships and inland vessels compliant with D2 specifications.
• Power generation in diesel generator sets.
• Heating fuel in boilers and furnaces.
Diesel Fuel D2 is typically supplied in:
• Bulk tankers and pipelines for large-scale distribution
• ISO tanks and flexi-tanks for international exports
• Drums and IBCs for industrial and remote area use
• Storage terminals for blending and onward supply
• Classified as a flammable liquid – handle with care.
• Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources.
• Follow proper grounding and bonding procedures during transfer.
• Use explosion-proof equipment and wear PPE (gloves, goggles, protective clothing).
• Follow regional API, ASTM, ISO standards, and MSDS guidelines for handling
