Gas Oil & Diesel
Gas oil is a term used to refer to a type of fuel oil that is commonly used in diesel engines. It is also known as diesel fuel or distillate fuel oil. Gas oil is a byproduct of the crude oil refining process and is typically a light to medium-weight oil that is less dense than heavy fuel oil.
The properties of gas oil make it an ideal fuel for diesel engines. It has a high energy density, which means it contains a lot of energy per unit of volume, making it efficient in powering vehicles and machinery. Gas oil also has a high cetane number, which measures the fuel’s ability to ignite and burn efficiently in the engine. This makes gas oil a reliable and safe fuel for diesel engines, providing good performance and low emissions.
In addition to its use in transportation, gas oil is also used in various other industries. For example, it is commonly used in heating systems and industrial processes that require a reliable heat source. Gas oil is also used in power generation, particularly in areas with limited access to natural gas or other fuels.
Gas oil is a versatile and important fuel that plays a critical role in many industries. Its high energy density, efficient combustion properties, and low emissions make it a reliable and sustainable fuel option for various applications.
