In recent years the properties of diesel fuels have changed distinctly, especially in the United States. Experience has shown that test methods and specifications used are no longer suitable for the adequate analysis and description of diesel fuels. This paper identifies a number of critical properties that should be analyzed in characterizing diesel fuel quality, uses examples from the United States to demonstrate the fuel-related problems (other than gaseous exhaust emissions) that result from a large diversity in diesel fuel properties, and discusses the available methods for dealing with these problems. The examples show the need to draw up improved methods for the better and more complete specification of good-quality diesel fuels, as well as the need to introduce these specifications on an international level.
