Marine Gas Oil

Solar Oil, also called High Speed Diesel (HSD) or Automotive Diesel Oil (ADO) or Marine Gas Oil (MGO), is used for this type of high speed diesel engines (greater than 1,000 rpm). Solar Oil can also be used as fuel in direct combustion in small kitchens and produce clean-burning. Solar Oil's performance is primarily determined by the value of its own ignition (ignition value/Catane Number).
