Diesel fuel in general is any liquid fuel used in diesel engines. The most common is a specific fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, but alternatives that are not derived from petroleum, such as biodiesel, biomass to liquid (BTL) or gas to liquid (GTL) diesel, are increasingly being

Oil Well Pump Operator
In Woncolo Indonesia, oil is pumped by a man seated on a former truck transmission. The body of the truck is discarded and the engine and transmission are set on the ground. A cable is wound around one of the wheels, which is then attached to the down hole pump. The operator puts the engine in neutral to drop the pump into the hole, and then guns it in reverse to wind up the wheel and pump out the crude oil/water emulsion. The emulsion is filtered into crude oil by allowing it to flow down the hill, and is eventually heated to distill it into diesel fuel.
Diesel pump removed
On the right you can see the birthday of the engine: 25 G 79 = July 25, 1979.
I removed the diesel pump of my Mercedes to renew the gasket between pump and engine. It was leaking oil. When I removed the diesel pump, it was clear why: the gasket had all but disappeared.
