The Main consumers of diesel fuel are trucks, construction and agricultural machinery and rail transport. Recently, however, diesel fuel can be found in passenger transport. For all drivers debated issue has always been its price. In automotive engines the use of diesel fuel is very beneficial and convenient, as it is cheaper than gasoline. The power and efficiency of engines running on diesel fuel, strong enough, since the high compression ratio leads to significant savings.

The density is currently the most common used characteristics of all petroleum products. Higher it is, the more energy is produced in the combustion process, and this allows to increase the efficiency of the engine. It not only affects the quality of the fuel, but to use it in the winter. Buying at the pump diesel fuel, drivers are often not interested in its density, especially in the summer. And while the car is moving normally, they don't think about it.

But the density of diesel fuel plays a large role in the fate of the car, and, as a rule, in winter, on her always remember. When nipping frosts, diesel fuel prefinished and turns into a mushy mass that can clog the entire fuel system. Winter diesel fuel should be equal to 840 kg per cubic m. If it is summer, with 860 kg per cubic meters when the temperature changes sharply, the consequences can be not very pleasant. Except winter and summer, there is also Arctic diesel fuel. It has the lowest density, equal to 830 kg / cubic meters, and can easily withstand the frost.

Of Course, it is difficult to visually determine which fuel is poured into the tank. We can only believe the documents to him. But at home, the density of diesel fuel can be identified. For this purpose it is necessary to pour in three-liter jar and put into a room where the temperature does not exceed twenty degrees. In the morning, with the help of a hydrometer to measure the density. Note, however, that in this way you can know just about what it is – summer or winter, but a quality factor therefore cannot be determined.

If it's freezing to minus ten degrees, then right at the gas station to perform the density of diesel fuel. For this it in a small amount to pour on the metal and observe the change of its structure. If it will drain, the question is that it is winter. If it is turbid and will slightly harden, it means that diesel fuel summer, and at a strong frost it freezes completely. This is only to look at the fuelling nozzle and to verify this.

Therefore, if the driver knows exactly what diesel was produced in the conditions of the factory, it is based on the knowledge of its density, he could determine his identity, as well as the freezing point. Well, if it is low grade, meaning in the visual analysis there will be no.

The Winter diesel fuel of high quality cloudy at forty-five degrees, and freezes at forty-eight. If to speak about the Arctic, the temperature of curing is generally equal to sixty-five degrees.

To be Fully confident in the quality of fuel is possible only after laboratory tests using fractional distillation. There are other methods of determining the quality, more modern.

Every driver should know what to fill the car better on gas stations, which are tested repeatedly. Although the density of diesel fuel plays an important role, however, there are still many other factors that influence engine performance.
