Description

Heating Oil is any Petroleum product or other oil used for heating; a Fuel Oil. Most commonly, it refers to low viscosity grades of fuel oil used for furnaces or boilers use for home heating and in other buildings. Heating Oil consists of a mixture of Petroleum-derived Hydrocarbons in the 14- to 20-carbon atom range that condense between 250 and 350 °C (482 and 662 °F) during Oil refining. Historically, the legal difference between Diesel and Heating Oil in the United States has been Sulfur allowance. Diesel for machinery and equipment must be below 15 ppm Sulfur content while Heating Oil needed only stay below 500 ppm sulfur. However, most Heating Oil in the United States is now "Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil" (ULSHO) and meets the same 15 ppm standard.
