You are correct. I was thinking about it relative to the refining aspect. Number 6 is Bunker C, and it has a BTU content of around 150,000 BTU/gallon, where Number 2 diesel is around 140,000 BTU/gallon.
However, as previously noted, bunker fuel needs to be heated to be atomized whereas number 2 does not. -D > On Apr 21, 2020, at 5:45 PM, fmiser via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > >> Dan wrote: > >> Bunker fuel is about the bottom of the refining chain, as it’s >> about as close as you can get to crude.
