Petroleum derived diesel is composed of about 75% saturated hydrocarbons (primarily paraffins including n, iso, and cycloparaffins), and 25% aromatic hydrocarbons (including naphthalenes and alkylbenzenes).[2] The average chemical formula for common diesel fuel is C12H26, ranging from approx. C10H22 to C15H32.

Diesel fuel isn't a single type of hydrocarbon molecule, it's actually hundreds of different kinds, ranging from C10H22 to C15H32, the average being C12H26.
