	Diesel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and perfected by Charles F. Kettering.
		Diesel is produced from petroleum, and is sometimes called petrodiesel when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources.
		Packard diesel motors were used in aircraft as early as 1927, and Charles Lindbergh flew a Stinson SM1B with a Packard Diesel in 1928.

	Subject Top Page: The Report on Diesel Exhaust
		Diesel exhaust is a complex mixture of gases and fine particles emitted by a diesel-fueled internal combustion engine.
		Diesel exhaust includes over 40 substances that are listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) as hazardous air pollutants and by the ARB as toxic air contaminants.
		Emissions of on-road mobile source diesel exhaust PM10 in California are expected to decline by approximately 85 percent from 1990 to 2010 as a result of mobile source regulations already adopted by the ARB.
