High-Speed Diesel

IndianOil - Petroleum Product Supplier

Petroleum-derived diesel (called as petrodiesel) is a mixture of straight run product (150 'C and 350 'C) with varying amount of selected cracked distillates and is composed of saturated hydrocarbons (primarily paraffins including N & ISO, and cycloparaffins), and aromatic hydrocarbons (including napthalenes and alkylbenzenes).

Diesel is used in diesel engines, a type of internal combustion engine. Rudolf Diesel originally designed the diesel engine to use coal dust as a fuel, but oil proved more effective. Diesel engines are used in cars, motorcycles, boats and locomotives. Automotive diesel fuel serves to power trains, buses, trucks, and automobiles, to run construction, petroleum drilling and other off-road equipment and to be the prime mover in a wide range of power generation & pumping applications. The diesel engine is high compression, self-ignition engine. Fuel is ignited by the heat of high compression, and no spark plug is used.

The Indian Standard governing the properties of diesel fuels is IS 1460:2017. Important characteristics are ignition characteristics, handling at low temperature, and flash points.

Sulphur level is same for both BS VI HSD and MS. In India, emission standards (equivalent to Euro VI / BS VI) have necessitated oil refineries to dramatically reduce the level of sulphur in diesel in view of the auto fuel policy brought in force by Govt of India.

XTRAGREEN

IndianOil launched XG on July1, 2021, bringing one of the cleanest diesel fuels globally to the Indian market. XG has a higher-cetane number of 55 comparing to normal diesel, which has a cetane number of 51.

XG is available at 5000+ retail outlets.

The incorporation of Diesel Multi-Functional Additive (DFMA) added in XG offers the following benefits: -

• Improves Fuel Economy: XG gives an additional 5-7% fuel efficiency depending on the vehicle model
• Lowers Noise in engine: Decreases engine noise by 5%
• Reduces Emissions: By promoting optimal combustion, XG reduces harmful Carbon emissions by 5.29%, NOX by 4.99% and 0.13 MT of CO2 per KL of diesel
• Superior Lubricity: XG Ensures longer engine component lifespan through its superior lubrication properties
• Better Oxidation Stability and Corrosion Protection: Keeps engine part clean & less deposits

Under BS VI specification "Diesel with 7% Biodiesel" that may be marketed in the near future.

IndianOil clarifies that it is perfectly safe to fill the fuel in vehicles to the full limit(max.) as specified by the automobile manufacturer irrespective of winter or summer.
