Depends on the BTU's and the viscosity. If a given amount has more energy, then you burn less, or vice versa. With fuel oil, changes with the type and weight of fuel oil tend to cancel each other out, but once you move to different "types" of oil products (like lubricants or diesel), there is a noticeable change. Diesel burns cooler, as I hear, than Bunker C. A thicker fluid like Bunker C is nicer to fire with--it's less fluid, and therefore less subject to sudden changes. Diesel, like we have used recently, works but is a pain. I would imagine lubricating oil to be somewhere in between. Personally though, I can't stand the smell of automotive oil (journal oil I'm cool with [:)]). One question to ask is what will we do when petroleum becomes so rare as to be very costly per gallon (and eventually it will happen, just when is the question)? We could burn ethanol, I suppose. Cooking oil might work (stop in every town with a fast food restaurant [:)])! Sincerely, Daniel Parks
