88% is carbon
in crude oil

PSUNRISER: 1.The Very Light Oils / Light Distillates
Rajz: ok
PSUNRISER: 2) Light Oils / Middle Distillates
PSUNRISER: (3) Medium Oils: Most of the crude oil on the market these days falls into this particular category. Low volatility makes for messier & more complex “clean ups” and when it comes to the increased toxicity levels, I believe we have all lived long enough to see what “Medium Oil” spills can do to the local ocean life out on the seas or local wildlife right here on “terra firma!”
PSUNRISER: 4) Heavy Fuel Oils which include the heavy crude oils, Grade 3,4,5 and 6 Fuel Oils (Bunker B & C) as well as Intermediate and Heavy Marine Fuels. With these oils there is very slow and little evaporation and therefore toxicity is highly increased. This not only means potentially severe contamination for fish, fowl and fur-bearing creatures, but possible “long term” contamination of water and soil as well
PSUNRISER: okay !!!!
Rajz: ok
PSUNRISER: Now you'll understand
Rajz: yaa, i understand
PSUNRISER: i appreciate
