Home Heating Oil


Kerosene is a clean burning, economical fuel used in modern boiler systems.
 
Gas Oil is used in many older house burners and only in heating systems with an outdoor burner.
What is the difference between Kerosene and Gas Oil?
Kerosene, also known as 28 second oil, is produced after the distillation process of crude oil. Most domestic systems run on Kerosene because it provides a cleaner and more efficient burn for your home. Gas Oil (red diesel), also known as 35 second oil, is more commonly used in agriculture and industry. Gas Oil is less combustible than Kerosene and has more carbon atoms.
