47	$It's not correct to say that #1 diesel "has kerosene in it". We are getting very confused here on nomenclature. #1 diesel is simply a mixture of refinery chemicals that meets certain ASTM specs - volatility, viscosity, pour point, BTU yield, etc. As long as it meets the spec it could be 100% lizard blood. What's in it makes no difference as long as it meets the spec. Kerosene is another spec product, as is #2 diesel and as is gasoline. Every refinery is different in terms of the equipment installed and the condition it is in and every refinery must be run to suit the incoming crude. First, you vacuum distill the crude. The problem is that you generally never get enough lighter fractions for use in gasoline and other fuels just by straight distillation of the crude oil. You get too much heavy stuff, and nobody needs that much lubricating oil. Therefore there are a number of different chemical processes that you put the heavy stuff through to "crack" it and make it into lighter fractions. These fractions - whether from vacuum distillation or chemical refining - have refinery names like "naptha" and "straight run gasoline" and "light gas oil" and "heavy gas oil" and "light alkylate" and so on. These are the fractions that are blended together at the refinery to make kerosene or #1 diesel or #2 diesel to ship to customers. The blend can shift from day to day depending on where the latest shipload of crude came from and it can be a very different blend from a refinery that runs heavy Venezuelan crude versus one that runs sweet Nigerian crude. Remember - as long as it meets spec it gets shipped. In the summer you run flat out for gasoline and you still generate more diesel than you need. You can afford to meet spec on diesel with room to spare. In the winter you run for heating oil/diesel and you can sell all the diesel you can make even if it just makes spec by a whisker. Gasoline prices generally fall in the winter since you have more than need. It gets even more complicated. Rather than blend the naptha into gasoline, or kerosene or diesel you might build a plastics plant and go from naptha to polyethylene milk jugs. Or, you swap your gas oil to the refinery next door for their naptha. All this bears on what you have available to blend. Bottom line: #2 diesel fuel will vary from refinery to refinery as well as with the season and the current source of crude. If you find a supplier that you like, stick with them.$ Re: Starting BX in Real Cold Weather	Kubota Tractors	Paladin	2005-02-04
