A cost-effective alternative to diesel for commercial heating
With the same calorific value and physical properties as gas oil, IHO is miscible with diesel and is compatible with BS 2869 Class D meaning that you can get the same heat output for less money.
Please note that industrial heating oil is a fully rebated product and must only be used for heating. It is not to be used as fuel for a road vehicle, off-road vehicle, vessel or any other machinery that is not an excepted machine.
