Heating Oil is a very dark, reddish-brown, combustible, flammable, polluting, viscous liquid, providing 391.0 kTU or 489.0 kHE per bucket when burned for heat or as a low grade fuel respectively.
An intermediate product in petroleum processing, heating oil is most commonly produced as a fractioning byproduct; usually of naphtha or its cracked counterpart for their respective diesel products. It is also a primary or secondary product in a few other fractioning recipes, and can additionally be produced via the cracking of two fluids (most notably, wood oil).
Much like many of the mod's other byproduct fluids, heating oil does not have any uses significant to progression, and other than being able to be directly consumed to produce a relatively small amount of heat or power, its main use is either in the synthesis of a few products, such as engine lubricant, or simply to be recycled back into primary products and reprocessed.

Naphtha processing results in 400mb of Heating oil.
Industrial Oil processing results in 600mb of Heating oil.
Coal can be liquefied into it. It requires 800mb of heating oil and 2000mb of steam to make 1800mb of heating oil.
Uses
Besides being usable as a fuel for the combustion engine or fluid burner, heating oil is used in the following recipes:

Trivia
- It is the mod's second most energy dense low grade fuel, being behind only heavy heating oil in HE yielded per bucket.
- In real life, it is chemically very similar to Diesel fuels, if not simply just dyed diesel (usually red).
- While it would work in a diesel engine, it is illegal to use it as it is not road taxed.
