Description:
Fuel Oil is a vital component derived from the distillation of petroleum, available either as a distillate or residue. It encompasses a wide range of liquid petroleum products used for heat generation in furnaces, boilers, and engines, excluding those with a flash point of approximately 40 °C (104 °F). Composed of lengthy hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics, Fuel Oil is commonly distinguished as the heaviest commercial fuel derived from crude oil, surpassing the lightness of gasoline and naphtha.
