Abstract

 

Physico-chemical characteristics such as  American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity, specific gravity, pour point, kinematic viscosity, flash point, copper corrosion, conradson carbon, water and sediments, total sulphur, residue and hydrocarbon contents (saturates, aromatics and polar) of high speed diesel (HSD) collected from Multan regions of Pakistan have been evaluated using standard ASTM procedures. Results have been compared with the standards specifications of European, Indian and Pakistan to assess the quality and environmental impact.

 

Key words: Quality, sulphur, aromatics, environmental impact
