minus-square@edwardbear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•edit-217 days agoWe call diesel fuel “naphtha” and gasoline is benzene.
minus-square@ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink3•17 days agoWe call diesel “Mazut” which is usually the name of a heavy dirty fuel oil, I just found out. More digging needed.
minus-squarehiggsbosonlinkfedilinkEnglish4•17 days agoyeah, mazut is a generic term for low grade fuel. I think here in the US it would mostly be called bunker fuel.
minus-square@ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink2•17 days agoTo be completely fair, the diesel we get here is usually not of a grade that would make it legal in places like the US. I do wonder why a different name stuck here, I think that’s much more interesting than “benzeen” for gasoline
minus-square@ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink9•17 days agoHuh. That’s how it kind of is in Arabic. I never put it together that what we call “Naft/Nuft” (نَفط) is related to Naphtha. Fuel is “Benzeen” (بنزين).
