    Hydrocarbons are classified by molecular chain length. So propane is a short chain hydrocarbon and diesel is a long chain. Venezula oil is harder to refine than West Texas crude. Still good for making diesel and jet fuel. Gasoline is a shorter chain than diesel. Grease is a really long chain hydrocarbon.
