I can answer questions on industrial practice, emissions, and impacts of air pollutants. I`m also good on regulatory and policy questions, but have an admitted anti-regulatory bias.
I've been in consulting engineering for over 30 years.

Leaded gas was manufactured by using tetraethyl lead as an additive. The purpose of the additive was to increase the octane of the gas. Octane is an 8 carbon hydrocarbon molecule which is the standard
Gasoil is, in the US, referred to as diesel. The problem is that I can give you a theoretical answer, but that may be very incorrect because of the ignition conditions and efficiency. There is also a problem
Rather than waste space and time in providing an answer that I would have to look up, let me point you to the source for data, I would use to answer your question. http://www.eia.doe.gov/environment.html
The governing set of standards you want to look at is from ASHRAE American Society of Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning Engineers. Just thought that it might make your search easier. Dave
all 3 are hydrocarbons, so all 3 produce the same types of pollutants, except leaded gas. Gasoline does not contain Tetraethyl lead, but the automakers and the petroleum companies decided to add it to
