Oil-water emulsion: if the emulsification is not severe, the color returns after it’s left to stand for a while
It has emulsified; adding some demulsifier will do. However, there is now a type of emulsified diesel for which the use of a demulsifier can improve fuel efficiency.
Crude oil has a high acidity level, and these naphthenic acids are primarily found in the light distillate fraction. The sodium naphthenate formed during alkaline washing is a strong surfactant that causes emulsification. Currently, demulsifiers are available that can effectively prevent emulsification in this type of crude oil
