Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of emissions:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion generally produces higher levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to petrol combustion. This is due to the combustion characteristics of diesel engines, as well as the composition of diesel fuel. However, advancements in diesel engine technology, such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, have significantly reduced emissions from modern diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol combustion typically produces lower levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to diesel combustion. Petrol engines emit fewer particulates because petrol itself contains fewer impurities compared to diesel. Additionally, petrol engines may emit lower levels of nitrogen oxides due to differences in combustion processes and engine design.
