1 gal of #2 fuel oil (or diesel for that matter) has an equivalent of 115,000 BTUS.
I say equivalent because it has a little more than that raw (like 136k or so) but the furnace that burns it is only around 85% efficient, therefore you only get 115K BTUS.
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu/gallon. Psi does not matter.
From each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil, about 19.6 gallons of gasoline and 9.2 gallons of diesel fuel are refined.
Many ships use MDO or Marine Diesel Oil, sometimes also known as #2 Diesel. Ships can also use HFO or Heavy Fuel Oil or Bunker C. These are crude oil derivatives that are largely unrefined. They are very thick and need to be heated by steam in order to reduce its viscosity to allow them to flow.
No, water does not burn. Blending it would reduce the effectiveness of the fuel oil as a fuel.
Please see the link in the related links section. Please note that actual viscosity of No. 6 fuel oil depends on the actual blend of products and the product specifications of the fuel oil. Fuel oils are usually classified by viscosity and sulfur. In particular more stringent sulfur specifications require more light products (light cycle oil (LCO) or unconverted oil (UCO)) to be blended into No. 6 fuel oil. This results in a less viscous fuel oil. There is no universal standard specification for No. 6 fuel oil.
A gallon of fuel oil typically contains about 138,500 BTUs, while a gallon of propane provides approximately 91,500 BTUs. This means that fuel oil has a higher energy content per gallon compared to propane. Therefore, when considering energy output, fuel oil is more efficient in terms of BTUs per gallon.
One gallon of No. 2 fuel oil contains approximately 138,500 British Thermal Units (BTUs). This value can vary slightly depending on the specific composition of the fuel oil, but it is a commonly accepted average for heating calculations.
1 gallon for #1 Kerosene produces 135,000 BTUs. #1 Kerosene is closely related to #1 Diesel and JP8 (Jet Fuel) - they differ chiefly in additives. Likewise, #2 Kerosene, Diesel #2, and Furnace Oil are similar to one another. #2 oils have higher sulfur content, which leads to more eye and lung irritation from the emissions. However, they are also comprised of longer hydrocarbon chains, and therefore weigh more per gallon and also have somewhat higher energy content.
To raise the temperature of 1 gallon of oil by 1 degree Fahrenheit, it typically requires about 1,800 BTUs. This value can vary slightly depending on the specific type of oil, but 1,800 BTUs is a commonly accepted estimate for heating purposes.
No. 6 fuel oil has a combustion value of 151,300 - 155,900 Btu/US gallon.
Approximately 5,800,000 BTUs per 42-gallon barrel.
approx. 140,000
One gallon of No. 2 heating oil contains approximately 138,500 BTUs (British Thermal Units). This value can vary slightly based on the specific formulation and density of the oil, but 138,500 BTUs is a widely accepted estimate for energy content.
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu/gallon. Psi does not matter.

One gallon of fuel oil contains approximately 138,500 British thermal units (Btu). This value can vary slightly depending on the specific type and composition of the fuel oil. Fuel oil is commonly used for heating and energy production due to its high energy content.
The number of BTU's per gallon of oil depends on the type of oil, of which there are many different kinds for different uses. The links, below, offer guidance in converting such values.
