Cerium oxide finds use as a fuel additive to diesel fuels, [clarification needed] which results in increased fuel efficiency and decreased hydrocarbon derived particulate matter emissions, [6] however the health effects of the cerium oxide bearing engine exhaust is a point of study and dispute.
Oil spills may be due to releases of crude oil from tankers, pipelines, railcars, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, as well as spills of refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, diesel) and their by-products, heavier fuels used by large ships such as bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily refuse or waste oil.
That bill was the Voinovich-Carper Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2010, which was the 3973 bill heard by the 111th Senate. S.3973 was first introduced to the Senate on November 18, 2010, but never made it past the Senate floor. Possibly because The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2010 (H.R. 5809) was already making its way in the Senate.
Diesel fuel has many colloquial names; most commonly, it is simply referred to as diesel.In the United Kingdom, diesel fuel for road use is commonly called diesel or sometimes white diesel if required to differentiate it from a reduced-tax agricultural-only product containing an identifying coloured dye known as red diesel.
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF; also known as AUS 32 and sometimes marketed as AdBlue [3]) is a liquid used to reduce the amount of air pollution created by a diesel engine. Specifically, DEF is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water .
The most common such system is a fuel tank containing a combustible liquid, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, or rocket propellant. After being fully filled, and during use, there is a space above the fuel, called the ullage, that contains evaporated fuel mixed with air, which contains the oxygen necessary for combustion ...
Exposure to diesel exhaust and diesel particulate matter (DPM) is an occupational hazard to truckers, railroad workers, occupants of residential homes in the vicinity of a rail yard, and miners using diesel-powered equipment in underground mines. Adverse health effects have also been observed in the general population at ambient atmospheric ...
These methods can be used to create substitutes for gasoline, diesel, propane, kerosene and other chemical feedstock. Diesel fuel produced from these sources is known as green diesel or renewable diesel. Diesel fuel created by hydrotreating is distinct from the biodiesel made through esterification.
