Javier Troconis On Diesel Fuel Quality Increased performance is the key factor in design and research in today's diesel engines. Advancements in fuel economy have been particularly successful in 2019 through today.  2022 has seen the introduction of more and more electric vehicles in the form of trucks, that will compete with the gas combustion engines currently used by the vast majority of fleets, transport and cargo services.  In order to determine the efficiency of a diesel engine, you must begin with quality diesel fuel.  Diesel fuel is unlike conventional gasoline in various ways.  Diesel fuel begins to deteriorate as  soon as it is produced .  All diesel fuel begins a natural process called oxidation as soon as it is produced. This oxidation process forms a type of varnish which gums up the medium by altering the fuel molecules making them lengthen and bond together.  The process can have a deleterious effect on the formula less than 30 days after refining. This results in wh
