Diesel fuel has been used in fracking fluids for decades.

I'm no expert in fracking by any stretch, and perhaps there are good "geological/industrial" reasons for using diesel fuel, but wouldn't common sense tell anyone not to pump that stuff deep into the ground at up to 15,000psi??

Using air, water, steam, etc is one thing, but pumping refined/toxic petroleum products into the ground... uh... WTF??
