Good luck !

I'm not sure if the mass percentages quoted will answer your question. The piona analysis only tells you that burning diesel gives CO2 and H2O, which you probably already knew.
For environmental effects you may be more interested in sulfur and other ingredients at sub % or even ppm level. I'm sure this must have been studied a zillion times already and you should be able to google up results instead of redoing the exercise.

where's the chemicals???These are what I would call mostly physical attributes.



Could be that previous data concerning sulfur may have recently changed or will change with the new low sulfur limits.??

960521, the Chevron link brought by BigInch, has a graph (fig 4-3) under Diesel Fuel Chemistry showing % for each carbon number.

You are not asking the correct question. As pointed out by Epoisses, all you can do with an analysis of the diesel is to perform some stoichiometric combustion calculations which will only tell you that burning the diesel results in the formation of carbon dioxide, water vapor, some sulfur dioxide and some nitrogen oxides.

For a study of the environmental effects of burning diesel oil in a fired heater, an automobile or other diesel fueled equipment you should be asking what hazardous trace compounds are formed. You should read this U.S. EPA report:

EPA/600/8-90/057F, May 2002, "Health Assessment Document for Diesel Engine Exhaust"

thanks mbeychok.I'm afraid you don't know what i am doing.

when transport, storage of the oil(including diesel, gasoline, etc.), there exist leakage of the oil, the leakaged oil can infiltrate to the soil, and then contaminate the soil, surface water and groundwater. In some sense, it is more dangerous than the exhausted gases. So I need to know the original compounds of the diesel rather than the burning results.

I think BigInchs mass percentages post may be the most comprehensive quantitative component analysis you may get your hands on.??I tries to do a similar exercise with Bitumen a while back and just gave up in the end. Too many heavy and exotic hydrocarbons to effectively analyse.
