Gas oil

Oil gas is a group of petroleum distillation products having boiling points between kerosene and lubricating oil.[1] The term originally referred to the product of oil gas works that was added to the product of coal gas works to produce improved illuminating gas.[2][3]

Historically (c.1924) 40% of traditionally distilled crude oil would be Gas oil—"being too heavy to burn in wick fed lamps and not heavy enough to make lubricating oils"[4][5][6]

Vacuum gas oil

Vacuum gas oil is a more viscous form of oil gas, produced by vacuum distillation. It is a dark brown to black coloured semi-solid (freezing point just above room temperature) with a smell like asphalt.[7]

The chief residual was the hydrocarbon which condensed in the storage reservoirs They had no immediate market for that but it was readily bought up in England where it fetched is per gallon It had often occurred to him that were oil gas works and coal gas works to combine it might be possible to enrich coal gas with these condensed hydrocarbons He believed that had not yet been tried but he intended making the experiment.
