Standard diesel fuel (sometimes called diesel oil) comes in two
grades: Diesel*1 (D1) and Diesel*2 (D2). Diesel or
Diesel fuel in general is any fuel used in diesel engines. Thats
why its also commonly called as AGO or Automotive Gas Oil. Diesel
fuel is a type of fuel derived from the distillation of oil that is
heavier than gasoline but lighter than engine oil and heavy
oil.
Gasoil is the second distillate from the crude and can be used
without additives or reformers. The content of sulphur
differentiates the gasoil. Low sulphur gasoil has a content below
0.2% whereas ultra low sulphur gasoil has less than 0.*2%. ISO
(International Standardisation Organisation) set a standard for
gasoil that most oil companies use as their reference. The
GOST variant (Russia) for Gasoil is *****2
specifying the sulphur content of 0.*2% max.
