Fuels, diesel, C9-18-alkane branched and linear
A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by the hydrodeoxygenation and catalytic hydroisomerization of animal fats and vegetable oils followed by distillative fractionation.  It consists predominantly of branched and linear paraffins having carbon numbers in the range of C9 to C18 and boiling in the range of approximately 179.degree.C to 309.degree.C (354.2.degree.F to 588.3.degree.F).
