chromatic. Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) is more thicker than diesel oil and have higher level point pour than
diesel oil. 

The usage of Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) in general is for fuel at direct combustion in big industrial kitchens,
the Steam Power Station and others which very pay attention for economic facets of its fuel.
