The biggest difference: fuel oil is processed, while crude oil is not processed.
Fuel oil can be considered a semi-finished product; it can be used as fuel, and in the past, stoves had burners designed specifically for fuel oil. Crude oil needs to be processed before it can be turned into a finished product
What comes out initially is crude oil, and it is only after processing that it becomes refined oil – just as raw water comes out of the wells at first, and it becomes purified water after treatment; P;P
Crude oil is one of the products derived from crude petroleum
Looking forward to a more professional answer. But it’s clear on Baidu. ;P At least their respective hazard categories are different. Classify crude oil as Category B
What is the heavy oil used in heavy oil cracking?
Crude oil is oil that is extracted in its unprocessed form, while fuel oil is the heavy oil that remains after crude oil has been subjected to atmospheric and vacuum distillation. It is difficult to process and costly to handle, which is why it is often used as fuel for furnaces, boilers, etc. Nowadays, with the advancement of technologies aimed at making heavy oil lighter, such as catalytic cracking and hydrocracking, the use of fuel oil has become more efficient.
