It's either diesel or it isn't.

There is a difference between making
it from crude oil and from CO2.

I refer you to the sentence below.

Or perhaps you consider alcohol or hydrogen that
a petrol engine can run on just synthetic petrol?

I make an obscene gesture in your general direction, as always.

Yes - it's called typing in your case.

Collins GEM English Dictionary
diesel n. ~diesel oil fuel obtained from petroleum distillation.

Pity about biodiesel.

Thought even you might notice that's a different name.

A fuel made from other than that may well
work in a CI engine, but isn't diesel oil.

If its chemically identical, it is.

And, of course, the whole point of this is they ain't chemically
identical. Which is why it's wrong to call it diesel.

Thanks for shooting yourself in the foot yet again.
