Certain colorless, low-sulfur oil products that burn without producing much smoke.

Kerosene comprises refined petroleum distillate intermediate in volatility between gasoline and gas/diesel oil. It is a medium oil distilling between 150 degrees C and 300 degrees C.

Mixture of various hydrocarbon compounds, main component is dodecane; is used to dilute tributyl phosphate in the PUREX process for the reprocessing of nuclear fuel.

A colorless flammable oil distilled from petroleum and used as a fuel for jet engines, heating, cooking, and lighting.

A fuel made from oil that is used in lamps, heaters, and jet engines.

A light hydrocarbon fuel or solvent.

A refined Petroleum fraction used as a fuel as well as a solvent.

A low viscosity oil distilled from petroleum or shale oil, used as a fuel, paint thinner and alcohol denaturant.

A refined petroleum fraction used as a fuel as well as a solvent.

A colorless flammable oil distilled from petroleum and used as a fuel for jet engines, heating, cooking, and lighting.

Fuel for jet and propeller engines that is chemically similar to petroleum. Like diesel fuel or gasoline, kerosene is produced by distilling crude oil; unlike these fuels, kerosene does not contain halogenated additives.

Also called jet kerosene. Medium-light distillate used as fuel for jet engines, with a boiling range of 150°–260° Celsius.

A mixture of hydrocarbons distilled from crude petroleum; see RJ-1, RP-1.

  Fuel oil which is developed for jet engines.

A colorless flammable oil distilled from petroleum. Used for fuel for jet engines, heating, cooking, and lighting.

A light refined middle distillate fraction used as a heating oil or, more especially, as aviation engine turbine fuel.

a mixture of hydrocarbons produced by distilling petroleum, that is used as a lamp oil or jet fuel.

a medium-light distillate from the oil refining process intermediate between gas oil and gaseous fuels; used for lighting and heating, and for the manufacture of fuel for jet and turbo-prop aircraft e [..]
