Hi Tony,

I suspect that your teacher wants you to find Technical Data Sheets and Safety Data Sheets from an oil company, so.......

Shell publishes theirs here:

http://www.shell.com.au/home/content...tml#subtitle_6

You'll find that there are several types of diesel. Shell has 5 including a biofuel.

The average sort of diesel is well described in that Wikipedia article above. Wikipedia sometimes gets rubbished as an authoritative reference , so I'd also quote Shell.

Cheers
