Diesel fuel, gas oil, or diesel is a petroleum derivative and plays a crucial role in the operation of diesel engines in a variety of sectors, ranging from transportation to industry and heating.
Next, we explore the different types of gas oils and their specific applications.Let’s get to know the types of gas oil that exist, differences, and additives that can improve their performance.
There are 3 types of gas oils, each designed for a different specific purpose:
Automotive Diesel (Diesel A): This is the standard diesel, yellow in color, used as fuel for road diesel vehicles.This diesel contains additives developed to improve engine performance, pollute less, and reduce fuel consumption.Agricultural Diesel – Subsidized (Diesel B): Intended for use in agricultural machinery, fishing equipment, boats, and off-road equipment.Known as red diesel, this type of diesel is subject to reduced taxes and is dyed that color to facilitate its identification in case of use in cars, considered fraud, since its use in road vehicles is prohibited.Heating Oil (Diesel C): This green diesel is used as a heat source in domestic and industrial heating systems, it contains more impurities and is of worse quality than diesel A and B because it is designed to be burned in boilers and central heating systems.
Diesel additives are chemical compounds that are added to the fuel to improve its quality.
Why are diesel additives necessary?
Because they improve the proper maintenance of the engine and therefore increase the service life of our car and can prevent more than one problem.
These three types of diesel fuels can be treated with additives to improve their performance. Since each type of diesel is different due to its components, it is necessary to know which is the best additive to include in each case:
-Additive for Diesel A: We can find additives for heavy vehicles and storage tanks as well as for light vehicles.
* CETAPLUS AUTOCleans the injection systemReduces smoke and vibrationsProtects against corrosionRestores powerPre-ITV* CETAPLUSReduces fuel consumptionImproves power deliveryRestores the injection systemPrevents engine corrosionReduces foam formation
-Diesel additive B: Multifunctional additive that improves fuel quality.
* CETAPLUS AGROLubricates the fuel systemRestores the injection systemImproves cold startReduces consumptionImproves engine torque
-Diesel additive C: This additive is expressly designed for diesel C or industrial fuels such as Fuel oil.
*ADIGASImproves combustionReduces soot formationPrevents corrosion of injectorsImproves fuel filterability
The most notable advantages provided by the additives are:
– Better combustion and lower emission of pollutants.– Fuel savings.– Improved engine power and noise reduction.– Protection against corrosion, rust, and wear.– Greater performance.
