1. Heating oil

   Heating oil, or oil heat, is a low viscosity, liquid petroleum product used as a fuel for furnaces or boilers in buildings. Home heating oil is often abbreviated as HHO Heating oil consists of a mixture of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons in the 14- to 20-carbon atom range. During oil refining, it condenses at between 250 and 350 °C. Heating oil condenses at a lower temperature than the heavy hydrocarbons such as petroleum jelly, bitumen, candle wax, and lubricating oil, which condense between 340–400 °C. But it condenses at a higher temperature than kerosene, which condenses between 160–250 °C. Heating oil produces 138,500 British thermal units per US gallon and weighs 7.2 pounds per US gallon, which is about the same heat per unit mass. Number 2 fuel oil has a flash point of 52 °C. Red dyes are usually added, resulting in its "red diesel" name in countries like the United Kingdom. Since 2002, Solvent Yellow 124 has been added as a "Euromarker" in the European Union. Heating oil may be blended to create a product that burns similarly. Heating oil is commonly delivered by tank truck to residential, commercial and municipal buildings and stored in above-ground storage tanks located in the basements, garages, or outside adjacent to the building. It is sometimes stored in underground storage tanks but less often than ASTs. ASTs are used for smaller installations due to the lower cost factor. Heating oil is less commonly used as an industrial fuel or for power generation.
