Virgin Fuel Oil D6

Russian D6 Virgin Fuel Oil. D6 is also be known as Residual Fuel Oil and is of high-viscosity

The term fuel oil generally includes any liquid fuel that is burned in a furnace or boiler to generate heat, or used in an engine to generate power. However, it does not usually include other liquid oils, such as those with a flash point of approximately 42 °C (108 °F), or oils burned in cotton- or wool–wick burners. In a stricter sense, fuel oil refers only to the heaviest commercial fuels that crude oil can yield, that is, those fuels heavier than gasoline (petrol) and naphtha.

Virgin Fuel Oil D6 is mostly used for generators. Recent changes in fuel quality regulation now require further refining of the D6 in order to remove the sulfur (S), which leads to a higher cost. Despite this recent change, D6 is still less useful because of its viscosity as well as that it needs to be preheated before it can be used and contains high amounts of pollutants, such as sulfur. Since it requires pre-heating, it cannot be used in small ships or boats, or cars. However large ships and power plants can use the residual fuel oil.

Russian virgin fuel oil D6 is a type of residual fuel, mainly used in power plants and larger ships. It is not possible to use it in smaller engines or vessels/vehicles where it is not possible to preheat it. D6 is its name in the USA. In other parts of the world, it has other names.
