Why make anything out of it? In the USA, Diesel is more expensive than gasoline. Diesel is far safer to ship than gasoline, having a much higher flash point. I haven't been to Europe in over a year, but I'm pretty sure diesel is even more expensive there!

Ship it!

If it's high sulfur diesel then it can not be used for on road fuel. Thanks to the EPA rules and regulations that mandated the lower level. That caused it to have more processing. That is one reason diesel costs more than gas now.

Open a string of expensive day spas, and use the diesel as a cleansing excellent, followed by a kerosene rinse. Tell them they'll be going home carrying a fragrance that no man can resist!

Ya I know what you mean. My F350 is hungry also. I bought is a few years ago to do some work with it.

Price on fuel here a little better at $4.80/gal.

After looking at the amount the person is trying to use again it only works out to about 450 barrels, or 26,470 Gals or a little less then 4 tanker tractor trailers.

I agree with your post....

Tarik is from Gulf, may be living near some refinery. Arab owning refinery may be thinking that Diesel is waste product for him so he must be just throwing away.

Tarik, better fill up tankers and ship it U.S may be one day you can buy refinery too.

Lots of unkowns here. If it is pre-low sulfur diesel then I believe it can still be sold to farmers who use it in off-road tractors and such. Or it could be sold as fuel for generators which are obviously off road. In some parts of the country and in many less developed countries, diesel generators are common, and they all need fuel!

If it is not dyed red like most non-road diesel, then unscrupulous people could probably burn it as a motor fuel, especially in older (pre-2007 I think) engines without mechanical problems, and with little risk of detection. Because of the rising popularity of homebrew biodiesel, many states are allowing people to make their own fuel and some are even explicitly exempting such fuel from road taxes. Someone could always claim they made this fuel themselves. (Of course I'm not suggesting doing anything illegal, just stating options and observations to spur thinking.)

Hey tarik,

Are you talking about diesel fuel like we do here in the West? I mean is this real diesel fuel that can be used as fuel in diesel trucks or is it something lower on the distillation process? Something like a goo left over that no one seems to want to deal with?

You could easily convert the diesel to electricity via generators (I know large scale to burn 100,000 L/day) - is there a market for electricity were you are located ?

High sulfur content - off-road fuel. Low sulfur content - on-road fuel. Can't ship - power generation station fuel locally (everybody needs electricity). Beyond that, posssibly as feedstock for some plastics synthesis or other chemical production. Low investment - doubtful, depends on definition of "low".

How about a tanker consisting of an enormous capacitor - use some of the excess diesel to charge the capacitor, and more of it to fuel the ship to the United States. There, just discharge your capacitor into the power grid.

Why not - have 'em dock at Long Beach, California can use the electricity! Not to mention the fuel...
