Gas Oil is an intermediate distillate product used for diesel fuel, heating fuel, and sometimes as feedstock. The term is often used interchangeably with No. 2 heating oil. It is produced at higher temperatures than kerosene and lower temperatures than residual fuel. Usually used as diesel fuel or home heating oil.

 

Residual fuel, alternative names for fuel oil -- high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), low-sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and low-sulfur waxy residue (LSWR). Lately, due to market trends showing tendencies to Russian originated high-sulfur and low-sulfur fuel oil, mostly residual fuels are also sold with the alternative name as Mazut.
