No. 2 Fuel Oil High Sulfur

A distillate fuel oil classified as No. 2 fuel oil with a Saybolt Universal viscosity at 37.8°C of less than 45 seconds, testing 25 degrees A.P.I. or more, and containing more than 500 ppm sulfur. It falls under HTS 2710.20.10.08 due to its high sulfur content and specifications as a light fuel oil for heating and industrial combustion. Used primarily in boilers and furnaces where sulfur regulations are less stringent.

No. 3 Fuel Oil High Sulfur

A medium distillate fuel oil known as No. 3, with viscosity under 45 Saybolt Universal seconds at 37.8°C, API gravity of 25° or higher, and sulfur exceeding 500 ppm. Classified under HTS 2710.20.10.08 for its high-sulfur light fuel oil properties derived from petroleum refining. Commonly used in older industrial burners and marine applications.

Blended No. 2 Biodiesel Fuel Oil High Sulfur

A preparation containing 70% or more petroleum distillates blended with biodiesel, meeting No. 2 fuel oil specs with >500 ppm sulfur, API ≥25°, and low viscosity.
