[Stoves] BASIC WORLD INFO // PARAFIN

[Kevin Chisholm]

Dear Frans

You bring up a good point. There are many different names for various fuel 
cuts from oil. I also think it would be helpful if these were clarified and 
categorized in relation to their general formulas. Other fuel categories 
that could be included for sake of completeness might be:

Bunker
Bunker C
#6 Oil
Furnace oil
Stove Oil
Fuel oil
Lamp oil
Naphtha
#1 Oil
#2 Oil
Diesel fuel
Kerosene
Kerosine?
Gasoline

These are terms I run into as a Canadian.

Your terms include:

Parafin
Paraffin?
Kerosin
Petrol
Petroleum
Benzin
NAFTA
Diezel
Mazout

Perhaps somebody would already know a URL for a Table that showed the names 
of the various oil cuts around the World?

Best wishes,

Kevin
