	Fuel oil tax levy not likely this year
		China is unlikely to introduce fuel oil tax this year as officials from various government departments failed to reach a consensus on the move last week, central government officials said.
		In a separate report published on Tuesday, the newspaper said conflicts of interests among various government departments, and between the central and local governments were the fundamental reason behind the failure by the departments to reach an agreement.
		The newspaper said the central government is considering oil subsidies for those farmers, but it is likely the subsidies will go to the wrong hands who may pretend to be users of automotive vehicle.

	Burning #6 Fuel Oil
		The oil is heated in a vessel, either open or closed to the atmosphere, and the flash point is determined with a spark, or a flame as the distilled vapor ignites.
		Since fuel oils must be pre-heated for satisfactory handling in pumping and atomizing, to what extent the viscosity must be reduced and to what temperature the oil must be heated to accomplish such a reduction.
		Accompanying this increased intensity of evaporation is an increase in the diameter of the vapor cloud surrounding the oil droplets.

	Advanced Fuel Solutions - Providing fuel quality solutions, fuel additives, fleet management and consulting services.
		Fuel injection pumps are often times lubricated only by the fuel they are pumping and are, therefore, very susceptible to seizing if water gets into them.
		Fuel which must be stored for long periods of time in tanks containing water can also be treated with a fuel-soluble biocide, to reduce the chance of problems.
		Fuel tanks should be kept at or near capacity to minimize water contamination due to breathing.

	Energy from Fuel Oil
		Fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power, except oils having a flash point of approximately 100 °F (about 40 °C) and oils burned in cotton or wool-wick burners.
		The oil may be a distillated fraction of crude petroleum, a residuum from refinery operations, or a blend of these.
		Electricity is generated from fuel oil using technologies that are very similar to those currently used to generate energy from natural gas. Fuel oil is classified into six classes according to its boiling temperature, composition, and purpose.

	Magnetic Technologies L.L.C. :: Energy :: MHDRS for Fuel Oil Treatment
		The combustion of water and fuel oil emulsion alongside the natural gas with the moisture added shall lower the temperature within the ambience of maximum generation of nitrogen oxides and shall, consequently, lead to a significant reduction (30-35%) in their concentration in the smoke gases.
		The efficiency of fuel oil emulsion combustion is determined, first and foremost, by the presence and strength of globule micro explosions inside the flame jet.
		However, the emulsified fuel oil is different from the untreated one by the micro dispersed phase of the water with the diameter of the drop being 10 mcm.

	Oil Extraction
		Oil occurs in certain geologic formations at varying depths in the earth's crust, and in many cases elaborate, expensive equipment is required to get it from there.
		The oil is released from this formation by drilling a well and puncturing the limestone layer on either side of the limestone dome or fold.
		Oil extraction and feeder pipelines from wells to collection tanks is regulated under state and federal environmental laws.

	Mercury in Fuel Oil
		Essentially all of the measurements of mercury in fuel oil prior to 2001 were conducted on oils for utility and industrial boilers.
		Assuming that the heating value of oil used in these two sectors is similar, and that only distillate oil is used for residential applications, the quantity of oil estimated to be used in residential applications is 3,500 million gallons of distillate oil.
		No comprehensive oil characterization studies have been done, but data in the literature report mercury concentrations in crude oil ranging from 0.023 to 30 ppmwt, while the range of concentrations in residual oil is 0.007 to 0.17 ppm wt.

	Fuel oil and fumes spill from power plant bombed by Israelis - The Boston Globe
		The officials say Lebanon does not have enough of the foam that is used to extinguish oil fires, as most of it has been used to put out the blaze at the Beirut airport and oil stations, which also have been hit in Israeli strikes.
		Hadjian said it was possible that winds could also carry the oil to Turkey and Syria.
		Along that coast, waves carry a fl, thick layer of oil that sticks to rocks and sand.

	Traders Welcome Fuel Oil Futures' Launch
		Traders have welcomed the impending resumption in trading of fuel oil futures which is the second futures product this year after the debut of cotton futures last month.
		Fuel oil, which is mainly used in power generation and petrochemical industries, is regarded as the most liberalized oil product in China with the least control by the government.
		Analysts said the resumption of fuel oil futures was a test mechanism for the launch of futures trading of more important oil products such as gasoline, diesel and crude oil.

	IE Circular 77-15, Degradation of Fuel Oil Flow to the Emergency Diesel Generator
		Although the fuel oil transfer pump capacity is 13.8 gpm for each of the two redundant pumps, flow to the day tank for number one diesel generator was only 3 gpm.
		During long-time storage, degradation of fuel oil is a common occurrence.
		The rate of degradation is not easily predicted since it is a function of the source of the crude oil, the process utilized in making the fuel (e.g., straight distillation or the method of catalytic cracking), and the conditions under which the fuel oil is stored.

	indymedia beirut \| Lebanon: Spill of 10,000 tons of fuel oil into the Mediterranean Sea \| 27.07.2006 02:41
		At least 10,000 tons of heavy fuel oil have been spilled into the Lebanese sea, causing an environmental catastrophe with severe effects on health, biodiversity and tourism, environmentalists and the Environment Ministry said Wednesday.
		The fuel that did not catch on fire was spilled into the Mediterranean Sea as a result of the blast.
		The chronic impact of the oil spill is disastrous on the tourism industry due to the length of time it is going to take for the clean up of the sand, the rocks, the shallow reef and the marine ecosystem as a whole.

	Fuel Oil Additive
		Certain ingredients of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive penetrate into the sludge which is usually settled at the bottom of the fuel storage tank and in fuel lines.
		This increases the exposure of the fuel to air and the fuel is thus burnt with reduced formation of soot and smoke.
		The ingredients of Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive™ combine with vanadium pentoxide to form non-corrosive vanadates which have a high melting point and are friable and less adherent.

	This Week In Petroleum
		A theory proffered by many analysts was that the decline in heating oil stocks (a subset of distillate fuel) was not as large as had been expected, given the cold weather seen recently in the Northeast, the region where most of the heating oil in the country is consumed.
		With less crude oil going into refineries, crude oil inventories tended to build, but product stocks declined as they were needed to meet demand, since lower refinery inputs meant less refinery production.
		However, the crude oil price increase was relatively muted, as the market appeared to focus on the 3.7-million-barrel increase in crude oil, which was significantly larger than the build that had been expected.

		The problem with crude oil is that it contains hundreds of different types of hydrocarbons all mixed together.
		Fortunately there is an easy way to separate things, and this is what oil refining is all about.
		This is what happens in an oil refinery - in one part of the process, crude oil is heated and the different chains are pulled out by their vaporization temperatures.
