Our Industrial Heating Oil is specifically intended for use wherever Class A2 or Class D Gas Oil / Red Diesel can be used for the production of hot water, steam or other forms of heat generation. i.e. boilers, dryers, heaters & furnaces.

The below video explains how you can switch and save with Crown Oil’s IHO.

Our Industrial Heating Oil is a fully rebated product (nil excise duty), it is strictly prohibited for use in both on and off-road vehicles or any other static or mobile engines.

What is industrial heating oil (IHO?

Industrial heating oil is a blend of petroleum fractions and performance additives. IHO is a clean product manufactured from components that does not contain or include heavy metals, halogens, particulates, waste oils or residual fuel oils. It’s a light coloured, low odour product free from visible sediment. What’s more, it’s fully compliant with all the parameters set out in BS2869 Class D British Standard for heating oil (1000 ppm Gas Oil), with the exception of the cetane value.

Cetane value is the diesel equivalent of octane number in gasoline and provides a measure of the power output of the fuel, it is not of any significance for heat generation.
