diesel

Diesel convencional, como la gasolina regular, se refina a partir de petróleo, pero es un líquido más grueso, más pesado, con una "densidad de energía" superior - lo que significa que ofrece una mejor economía de combustible. En el lado negativo, a menos que usted compre un filtro de aire, gases de escape diesel es una fuente importante de partículas y de otras fuentes de contaminación del aire. Un tipo de diesel no derivados del petróleo es cada vez más ampliamente disponible, comúnmente conocido como biodiesel.
