    Note 1) Diesel fuels are in USA broken up into 3 different classes: 1D, 2D and 4D. The
    difference between these classes depends on viscosity and boiling point ranges.  4D fuels tend
    to be used in low-speed engines. 2D fuels are used in warmer weather and are sometimes
    mixed with 1D  fuel to create a competent winter fuel.  1D fuel is preferred for cold weather as it
    has a lower viscosity. It used to be standard to see the fuel number on the pump, but a lot of
    gas stations do not state the fuel number anymore.

    Note 2) European diesel standard from 2005

    Note 3) Fuel oil is a kind of product with a lot of classes and under classes as well as varying
    specifications in different markets. The density ranges given represents the variation, however,
    some products may be outside these ranges.
