diesel fuel
Compression-ignition engine juice
Diesel fuel is a petroleum-based liquid used in diesel engines, which ignite fuel through compression rather than spark plugs.
It's heavier and oilier than gasoline, with a distinctive smell.
Diesel powers trucks, buses, trains, ships, and heavy machinery: The truck stop sells diesel fuel at pump three.
Often shortened to just diesel.
