What is the density of diesel oil?
The density varies with the quality between 0.827 kg/l and 0.85 kg/l. This variation has to do with a variation in chemical composition: petroleum diesel contains carbon and hydrogen, biodiesel also some oxygen from the ester. The higher the carbon to hydrogen content, the denser the oil and the more energy it contains. Relatively higher carbon content is found in longer molecules and ring molecules.
