Fuel Oil:
Fuel oil consists of elements such as C, H, O, N and S. It is easy to handle and store and possesses CV (Calorific Value) greater than other fuels. It is obtained from crude petroleum and its ultimate analysis does not vary much 
Fuel oil is brought and sold on a volume basis. The specific gravity is determined in degrees API with a specially marked hydrometer. The unit is defined as follows:
