Diesel is a type of fuel used in diesel engines, such as those found in trucks, buses, and some automobiles. It is obtained from crude oil and is characterized by having a high content of heavy hydrocarbons.
Unlike gasoline, diesel requires higher compression to ignite and burn in the engine. It is known for its energy efficiency and its ability to generate high torque.
Diesel is stored in the vehicles’ tanks and is injected directly into the engine cylinders, where it is burned to produce energy and propel the vehicle.
