Do I remember correctly that fully burned pure diesel yields water and CO2? Soot is usually partially burned fuel plus a percentage of contaminants?

- jandrese 9y agoThat can't be right because where would the sulfur go? Not to mention all of the other junk in there.
- zentiggr 9y agoPer wikipedia, pure diesel is moderate size hydrocarbon chains. Everything else is impurities... so burning pure diesel in a 100% oxygen environment would yield water and COn gases. Of course, the rest of the world introduces different combustion products, including sulfur as part of the fuel oil fractions not completely distilled away.
