Marine Distillate Fuel

Marine Gasoil (MGO) (Number 2 fuel oil as per USA classification) - is a distillate home heating oil. Trucks and some cars use similar fuel with a cetane number limit describing the ignition quality of the fuel. Both are typically obtained from the light gas oil cut.

Marine Residual Fuels

Intermediate fuel oils (IFO) (Number 4 fuel oil as per USA classification) are black due to their higher proportion of heavy fuel oil. IFO fuels with RME, RMG and RMK designations and viscosities of 180 mm²/s or 380 mm²/s count as residual fuels. Number 4 fuel oil (IFO), also known as Bunker A, is a commercial heating oil for burner installations not equipped with preheaters. It may be obtained from the heavy gas oil cut.

Diesel Fuel without FAME (B0)

Diesel Fuel is the common term for the distillate fuel oil sold for use in motor vehicles that use the compression ignition engine named for its inventor, German engineer Rudolf Diesel. EN 590 is the current standard for all automotive diesel fuel sold in the European Union member states and other European countries. This grade of fuel is also called ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD).

BP Ultimate Diesel

Diesel Fuel is the common term for the distillate fuel oil sold for use in motor vehicles that use the compression ignition engine named for its inventor, German engineer Rudolf Diesel. Standard diesel fuel (sometimes called diesel oil) comes in two grades: Diesel #1 (or 1-D) and Diesel #2 (or 2-D). Just as gasoline is rated by its octane, diesel fuel is rated by its cetane, which indicates how easy it is to ignite and how fast it burns. The higher the cetane number, the more volatile the fuel.
