Dear all,

Best wishes for the new year!

I wonder if anyone could direct me to published 
work, or else give me an idea, even if 
approximate, of the d34S values of diesel (or for 
the matter other vehicle and/or heating fuels), 
together with comments, if any, regarding 
regional variability (crude oil source; refinery, 
method, ...???).

Some of you already asked related questions, but 
surprisingly very little can be found on the 
Archives.

Also, a literature search only gave me one 
article (A-L Norman et al, Atmospheric  Env., 40 
(2006), 2676-89), with a value **for vehicle 
exhaust** in the region of  d34S‰ +5 per mil.

How representative this value might be, particularly as it regards to Europe?

Thanks,

Clemente
