An experimental investigation of the physio-chemical properties of locally refined diesel oil

Diesel fuel adulteration is a growing challenge in Nigeria as it is associated with engine performance issues, high environmental pollution and loss of revenue accruable by the government. This problem is, however, not unique to Nigeria, it is also prevalent in many developing countries. In determining the physiochemical properties of fuel samples, sensor-based techniques, H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H NMR), gas chromatography-mass...
