Questions regarding 0# diesel and -10# diesel

2012-05-26View Original

Thread Content

As the title suggests, I would like to ask everyone: can the grade of all diesel fuels only be reduced and not increased? For example, -10# diesel can only be reduced to -20, -35, and -50#, but not raised to 0# or 5#? And if it’s possible to upgrade the grade of the fuel, then how can -10# diesel be upgraded to 0#? Thank you all..........

Ugh, the lower the grade, the more expensive the diesel is. The range from -10 to 0 indicates a decrease rather than an increase; generally, the higher the content of straight-run diesel, the higher the freezing point, which means a higher grade and thus a lower price

Bro, diesel is graded according to its freezing point: diesel with a freezing point of 0 degrees is called 0-grade diesel, while that with a freezing point of -10 degrees is called -10 grade diesel, and so on. . . . . . Generally, the lower the freezing point, the higher the price. In the market, grade 0 is usually converted to grade -10 by lowering its freezing point, and so on; there is no method for converting grade -10 back to grade 0. If such conversion is needed, adding wax oil will suffice, taking care of the acidity and sulfur content. Light paraffin oil has a very high cetane number, and its boiling range is also within the diesel range. Please refer to

I don’t understand either what the original poster wants to do Does it refer to filling the fuel tank? What was said on the 3rd floor is more reliable. To enable diesel to function in cold climates, diesel with a high freezing point (such as 5# or 0# diesel) can be treated with antifreeze agents to produce diesel with a lower freezing point (such as -10# or -20# diesel).

Change from low to high is too simple: 10#+0# adjusts to 5#, while 5#/10#+-10# adjusts to 0#
