Diesel Fuel En590

Product Details

Diesel Fuel EN590 Overview

EN590 is the European standard for automotive diesel fuel, ensuring consistency in quality, emissions, and engine performance. It defines the fuel specifications used in most diesel-powered vehicles across Europe and many other countries.

Key Features of EN590 Diesel:

• Sulfur Content:
• Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum of 10 ppm (parts per million) of sulfur.
• Helps reduce emissions and is compatible with modern engines equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF).
• Cetane Number:
• Minimum 51, ensuring efficient combustion and performance.
• Density:
  
  
• Varies between 820–845 kg/m³ at 15°C depending on the grade.
• Flash Point:
  
  
• Minimum 55°C, ensuring safe handling and storage.
• Cold Flow Properties:
  
  
• EN590 diesel is available in different climatic grades (e.g., summer, winter, arctic) to prevent fuel gelling in cold temperatures.
• CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) varies depending on the region’s temperature requirements.

EN590 Diesel Grades by Climate:

Applications:

• Used in road transport, industrial machinery, and marine applications.
• Complies with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards, making it suitable for modern diesel engines.

Availability & Trade:

• Traded in metric tons or barrels, with pricing influenced by crude oil prices, refining costs, and geopolitical factors.
• Commonly sourced from refineries in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Asia.
