Domestic Oil in the UK

Birmingham Fuel Oils have had a wealth of experience in supplying customers with Domestic Oil for a variety of purposes and environments. If you are unsure whether or not Domestic Oil is the option for you, feel free to contact Birmingham Fuel Oils for further information and a customer sales assistant will be happy to help answer your questions.

Domestic Oil is known as a variety of different names but it is essentially the same product in most cases. For example here is a few names for Domestic Oil you may recognise:

Heating Oil
Commonly used to describe the use of Domestic Oil this has also become another name for the oil itself. Domestic Oil and Heating Oil are the same fuel just with slightly different names that both accurately describe the oil and where/how it is used.

Kerosene
Again kerosene is just another name for Domestic Oil. Kerosene is the technical name for the fuel and can also be sometimes called Kerosine. Some dialects call this fuel Paraffin or Paraffin Oil instead of Kerosene such as South Africa. This is not to be confused with Paraffin Wax or the more viscous (thick) variety of Paraffin laxative.

Red Diesel
Red Diesel is another name for Domestic Oil and should not be confused with regular diesel for automobiles. Diesel and Red Diesel have slightly different compositions to each other as Diesel is designed for use in cars and other vehicles whereas Red Diesel should only be used as Domestic Oil such as Home Heating Oil. Red Diesel will always have a red colour to varying strengths as opposed to regular Diesel.
