From a slightly different angle, they're releasing energy by burning it. Burning isn't a reaction of the diesel with itself, it's combining with something else (air). So you'll have some extra mass coming from the environment.

Reminds me of when I learned that most of a tree's dry mass is from the air. Wood is literally made from air. Blows my mind.

We need to get you 3 nerds in a room and record it as a lesson. I can sure use some of this info.....

Plants are solar powered units that combine carbon from the air with hydrogen from the ground.
