Oil is used as a primary fuel source across the UK by both domestic and commercial properties. Although used in mainly rural areas in mainland UK, in Northern Ireland around 70% of the population use oil to heat their home.

There are two types of oil which are used - 28 Sec Kerosene "Heating Oil" which is used in standard domestic boilers and the more expensive 35 Sec "Gas Oil" (red diesel) which is typically used by industry for machinery, generators and is also used by some large commercial boilers for heating.
