Brake fluid is used by your braking system to provide hydraulic pressure to the pads or shoes. This fluid can either be glycol-ether based or mineral oil based. The key point is partially its lubricating ability, but more importantly it's hydraulic pressure abilities, which is why lighter petroleum oils can be used.

Kerosene is also called "fuel oil," because it is often recovered from oil deposits. Kerosene production isn't strictly dependent on coal, though. It can be produced from other substances, including shale and even wood.

If your company maintains its own fleet, then you should be able to do more than just oil changes, such as changing transmission fluid that needs to be cycled out every so often. Oil suppliers will have all of the lubricants and fluids you need to keep your fleet running.

Did you know that over 90 million barrels of crude oil are consumed each day globally? According to consumer insights, the use and consumption of crude oil have risen steadily over the last couple of decades.

Motor oil is made up of complex hydrocarbons. These originally were petroleum-based, but synthetic organic compounds have allowed hybrid oils to be made using substances such as polyalphaolefins, also called PAO, and polyinternal olefins, or PIO.

Thinking of investing in a new oil heating system? Try the fuel analysis calculator offered by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA). It can help you compare fuel efficiency and cost savings associated with different systems.

The most common coal for stoves is anthracite, but there are plenty of other types, including bituminous, cannel coal, and peat (which is a near coal). None of the other types, however, burn as cleanly and as well as anthracite coal.

In 1859, the first US oil company was established, the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company. They sold oil to supply the newly invented kerosene lamps. In small towns and rural areas, these lamps were used well into the 20th century.

Anthracite coal is known for having a very low sulfur content, as well as a low amount of other volatiles. As a result, you’ll get a much cleaner burn from anthracite coal than other fuels, with almost no smoke or particle emissions.

TVO or tractor vaporizing oil is a form of kerosene that was once used as fuel for tractors. Gasoline served as the starter fuel, and once the engine was sufficiently warmed, the engine could be switched to draw fuel from a tank of kerosene.

Trains have been a vital part of keeping the US going since the 1800s, and a large part of making sure the trains keep going is ensuring they’re properly lubricated. Fortunately, a petroleum product supplier will have the heavy-duty oil that trains need.

Did you know that in many circles the twentieth century has been called the hydrocarbon century? This is because the availability of the relatively cheap and highly efficient energy supply we know as petroleum, which has driven substantial changes in all areas of human society.

It can be tempting to try to save fuel costs by turning your oil burner off during the hot summer months. However, this can lead to problematic build up. The amount of fuel it uses is negligible to keep it in good shape, so it’s better to keep it on.
