If you mean 'diesel', as in the fuel, the answer is below.
Diesel is produced from petroleum, and is sometimes called petrodiesel when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources such as biodiesel. It is a hydrocarbon mixture, obtained in the fractional distillation of crude oil between 200 °C and 350 °C at atmospheric pressure.
If you'd like to know how petrol is formed, from the compression over time of biological and organic materials, you should read the second reference from Wiki on Petroleum formation.

"Diesel fuel is a mixture of many different hydrocarbon molecules. The combustion, both complete and incomplete, of diesel fuel forms a complex mixture of hundreds of organic and inorganic compounds in the gas and particle phases."
