Which products are obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum?

Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons of differing complexity and density. Gasoline is one of the lightest components, and heavy fuel oil one of the heaviest. To separate them in a refinery distillation is used, the more volatile components evaporate soonest leaving the heavy parts behind. This is called fractional distillation, because you are separating out different fractions of the original crude oil.

What oil is CST 180?

Fuel oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Broadly speaking, fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power, except oils having a flash point of approximately 40 °C (104 °F) and oils burned in cotton or wool-wick burners. In this sense, diesel is a type of fuel oil. Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. The term fuel oil is also used in a stricter sense to refer only to the heaviest commercial fuel that can be obtained from crude oil, heavier than gasoline and naphtha.
