What are the other reasons for diesel color change in summer?

Reply #22016-06-02

Diesel changes color because the olefins, aromatics, and unsaturated hydrocarbons present in diesel undergo oxidation reactions with oxygen in the air; as a result, these unsaturated hydrocarbons generate large amounts of free radicals. These free radicals then produce gums and asphaltenes, which in turn lead to the formation of more unsaturated hydrocarbons. This cycle repeats itself, causing the color of diesel to become increasingly darker
