Base Oil is the foundation of commercial oil, but without the necessary additives. In principle, the raw material for lubricants can be any mineral and/or a synthetic based lubricant, and like all other modern industrial materials Base Oil consists of a base material. Therefore, the petrochemical industry produces limited base oils that blend with each other and with additives for factories to produce commercial oils and service oils with the desired performance characteristics to satisfy the needs of many customers at once.
In the case of Diesel D6 Virgin fuel oil, the Base Oil is supplemented with additives that improve the functional properties of the commercial oil transforming it into Diesel D6 Virgin fuel oil.
Diesel D6 Virgin fuel oil is a residual fuel oil which is less useful due to its high viscosity, and as a result it has to be pre-heated with a special heating system before use. It also contains a relatively high amount of pollutants, particularly sulphur, which forms sulphur dioxide upon combustion.
However, its undesirable properties make it very cheap. In fact, it is the cheapest liquid fuel available. Since Diesel D6 Virginfuel oil requires pre-heating before use, this residual fuel oil cannot be used in road vehicles, boats or small ships, as the heating equipment takes up valuable space and makes the vehicle heavier.
