    摘要: Process for preparing a diesel fuel composition comprising the steps of : (i) blending a Fischer-Tropsch derived gasoil with a petroleum derived gasoil to form a blended gasoil which is compliant with the EN590 specification, wherein the Fischer-Tropsch derived gasoil has a density of 0.8 g/cm3 or less and wherein the petroleum derived gasoil is derived from naphthenic high density petroleum crude oil and has a density at 15°C of 0.84 g/cm3 or greater and a naphthenics content of 30 wt% or greater; and (ii) mixing the blended gasoil produced in step (i) with a diesel base fuel to form a diesel fuel composition, wherein the diesel fuel composition has a density at 15°C in the range from 0.820 g/cm3 to 0.845 g/cm3. The diesel fuel composition produced by the process of the present invention has the advantage that it meets the prevailing diesel specification EN590 and has enhanced characteristics as compared to the original base fuel.
