Properties of diesel fuels produced during 1979 were submitted for study and compilation under a cooperative agreement between the Department of Energy (DOE), Bartlesville Energy Technology Center (BETC), Bartlesville, Oklahoma and the American Petroleum Institute (API). Tests of 200 samples of diesel fuel oils from 94 refineries throughout the country were made by 29 petroleum refining companies. The analyses of the fuels are listed in tables for four groups according to type of diesel fuel. Each group of analyses is subdivided into five tabulations according to five general regions of the country where the fuels are marketed. The regions, containing a total of 16 districts, are shown on a map in the report. Data from 13 laboratory tests on each individual diesel fuel sample are listed and arranged by geographic marketing districts in decreasing order of sales volumes. Charts are included showing trends of averages of certain properties for the four types of diesel fuels for the years 1960-1979. Summaries of the results of the 1979 survey, compared with similar data for 1978, are shown in tables 1 through 4 of the report.
