C2 Grade Kerosene (Regular Kerosene) Must Meet Strict Specifications \u2013 Read Them Here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kerosene<\/a> is a light distillate fuel meeting BS 2869<\/a> Class C2. It is used in oil-fired boilers for domestic heating and also in industrial processes requiring low sulphur fuel. These applications normally involve the use of a flue to discharge combustion products from the burning appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C2 class kerosene is more widely available than C1 class kerosene<\/a>, hence it is the standard grade – they differ in their sulphur content as the below spec sheet shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown Oil\u2019s domestic heating oil<\/a> and Kleenburn Kerosene<\/a> fuel products both meet this specification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
