31 December 2011 (I didn't understand your question... but answering by believing that you are purchasing Fuels and then consuming it in your plant)

If at the time of purchase you have passed this journal entry...

Purchase A/c. Dr.
To. Cash / Supplier A/c.

then for consumption you will have to show this entry...

HSD & Lubricants A/c. Dr.
To. Purchase A/c.

31 December 2011 It is not capital expenditure. Capital expenditure is an expense which increases the life or output of an asset.

Diesel is consumed for running the DG set.

At the time of procurement, entry will be:

HSD & Lubricants (Indirect Expenses) Dr
To Cash/Supplier

No further entry will be passed at the time of consumption.

If you want to maintain stock of diesel, then maintain it manually.
