B100 ENERGY CONTENT Clause Samples

B100 ENERGY CONTENT. With conventional diesel fuels, the inherent energy content of the fuel, measured typically in energy per volume, is the largest factor in the fuel economy, torque, and horsepower delivered by the fuel. The energy content of conventional diesel can vary up to 15% from supplier to supplier or from summer to winter. This variability in conventional diesel is due to changes in its composition, and these changes are determined by the refining and blending practices. Number 2 diesel fuel usually has higher energy content than number 1 diesel fuel, with blend values somewhere in between.
