Abstract

For centuries, humanity knows some ways to use oil. Emanations of this surface have been used as a source of light and heat, but its intensive use is relatively modern. Diesel fuel is the light fractionated oil with oil fractions having a limit of 350 ° C in boiling point. The diesel engine is more efficient than gasoline, but its characteristics are much more polluting to the atmosphere. It is considered as a contaminant of the atmosphere any substance foreign to normal atmospheric composition that is incorporated and remains there for a considerable time.
