D6 Diesel is also known as Residual Fuel Oil / Bunker Fuel Oil, Bunker Oil and is of high-viscosity. This particular fuel oil requires preheating to 220 260 Degrees Fahrenheit. D6 is mostly used for generators, power plants and larger ships
Specifications
D6 Virgin Fuel Oil is mostly used for generators. Recent changes in fuel quality regulation now require further refining of the D6 in order to remove the sulfur, which leads to a higher cost. Despite this recent change, D6 is still less useful because of its viscosity as well as that it needs to be preheated before it can be used and contains high amounts of pollutants, such as sulfur. Since it requires preheating, it cannot be used in small ships or boats or cars. However large ships and power plants can use the residual fuel oil
