Like gasoline and other petroleum products, diesel, jet fuels, and heating oils are common products made in refineries around the world. Diesel is an important fuel used worldwide in a variety of applications such as trains, trucks, agricultural equipment, and military vehicles. While the processes used to make diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil are like those for gasoline, the chemical makeup and refinement processes have distinct differences. The Diesel and Other Fuels training course discusses the process for refining these products. It defines what diesel, jet fuel, and heating oils are and identifies the applications for each of these fuels. Diesel and Other Fuels is part of the Refinery Operations training series.
