No. 2 Fuel Oil

No. 2 fuel oil is a distillate fuel oil derived from petroleum refining, used primarily for heating buildings and as a diesel engine fuel. It meets HTS 2710.19.11 criteria as it tests 25 degrees A.P.I. or more and contains over 70% petroleum oils as the basic constituent, excluding biodiesel and waste oils.

Home Heating Oil

Home heating oil, typically No. 2 grade, is a petroleum distillate used in residential furnaces for space heating. Classified under HTS 2710.19.11 due to its A.P.I. gravity of 25° or higher and composition exceeding 70% petroleum oils, distinct from crude or waste.

Blended Distillate Fuel Oil

Blended distillate fuel oil combines straight-run distillates and cracked stocks, testing 25° A.P.I. or more, for marine or industrial boilers. HTS 2710.19.11 applies as it contains ≥70% petroleum oils, specified as distillate/residual excluding biodiesel.

Industrial Boiler Fuel Oil
