Discover Virgin Oil D6, a type of residual fuel primarily employed in power plants and larger ships. Before utilization, this fuel requires preheating and is unsuitable for smaller engines or vessels lacking preheating capabilities. While known as D6 in the USA, it bears different names in other regions worldwide.
Residual fuel refers to the material left behind after the more valuable components of crude oil have vaporized. It may contain various impurities, including 2 percent water and one-half percent mineral soil. Virgin Oil D6 is alternatively referred to as residual fuel oil (RFO) by the Navy specification of Bunker C or by the Pacific Specification of PS-400.
Recent fuel quality regulations necessitate further refining of D6 to reduce sulfur content, resulting in increased production costs. Despite these changes, D6 remains less versatile due to its viscosity, preheating requirements, and high pollutant levels, particularly sulfur. Consequently, it is unsuitable for use in small ships, boats, or cars. However, large ships and power plants continue to utilize this residual fuel oil.
