A general classification for the petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation operations. Included are products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils and No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuels. Used primarily for space heating, on and off-highway diesel engine fuel (including railroad engine fuel and fuel for agricultural machinery), and electric power generation.
A light, volatile substance, such as No.2 oil, produced by fractional distillation of petroleum.
Products of refinery distillation sometimes referred to as middle distillates; kerosene, diesel fuel, and home heating oil.
A general classification for one of the petroleum products produced in conventional distillation operations. It is used primarily for space heating, diesel engine fuel, and electric power generation.
The type of fuel oil generally used by residential and small commercial customers for heating purposes. It is also referred to as No. 2 Oil. It is a fuel that natural gas must compete with in the residential and commercial markets. [ mazout léger
Lighter fuel oils distilled off during the refining process and used primarily for space heating, on– and off–highway diesel engine fuel (e.g., railroad engine fuel and fuel for agricultural machinery) and electric power generation.
A general classification for one of the petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel oils. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuel are used in on-highway diesel engines, such as those in trucks and automobiles, as well as off-highway engines, such as those in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used primarily for space heating and electric power generation.
