Kerosene, commonly referred to as heating oil, is a fossil fuel used for heating purposes. It derives from the refinement of crude oil and is widely used as heating oil in homes across the UK. Kerosene comes in many guises, such as paraffin, boiler fuel, burning oil, heating oil, and 28 second oil, amongst others!
The ’28 second’ name refers to the test used to ascertain kerosene’s viscosity, measuring the time it takes for 50ml of kerosene to drip into a container. This is the same test behind the ’35 second’ name given to red diesel
K+ heating oil is a premium heating oil product from Rix Petroleum that helps keep your oil-fired boiler and fuel storage tank clean, increasing the reliability, performance, efficiency and lifespan of your heating system. It also ages slower than standard Kerosene, saving you money in the long run.
If you have an AGA style cooker, it’s important that you use the right fuel to keep your appliance in good condition, boosting performance and reducing risk of maintenance issues.
