Diesel
Diesel fuel in general is any liquid fuel used in diesel engines, whose fuel ignition takes place, without any spark, as a result of compression of the inlet air mixture and then injection of fuel. Sulphur occurs naturally in crude oil and the Sulphur content can range anywhere between 100 and 33,000 parts per million (ppm) If the Sulphur is not removed during the refining process it will contaminate the Diesel fuel. Depending on the crude oil used, as well as the refinery configuration, sulphur levels in Diesel fuel it can be as low as 10 ppm or higher than 10,000 ppm.
- Low Sulphur grade Diesel – 50 ppm Sulphur (max) Low-Sulphur Diesel 50 ppm
- Low Sulphur grade Diesel – 10 ppm Sulphur (max) Low-Sulphur Diesel 10 ppm
Petrol
Petrol is a transparent, petroleum-derived liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. Along with oil and coal, petroleum is classified as a fossil fuel. Formed over millions of years, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. When it is first collected, petroleum is a black, green or clear liquid with various levels of thickness. Petrol results from the mixing of crude oil with natural gas, and it may vary from a heavy black consistency to a pale yellow color (with low viscosity). The advantages of petrol as an energy source reside in the fact that it is clean burning and possesses a high energy density.
Both crude oil and natural gas are obtained from the ground, either on land or underwater. The extraction process involves sinking an oil well in the ground. A ship or pipeline then transports the oil to refineries where it is transformed into petrol. The refining process has several stages, including distillation, reforming, cracking and isomerization. Besides being the base substance for producing petrol, crude oil is also an ingredient for lubricating oils, fuels, asphalt, waxes and petrochemicals.

Illuminating Paraffin
Affordable source of energy with multiple uses – Highly refined, light/middle distillate, hydrocarbon fuel performance formulated for clean burning, with minimum charring and optimum performance. As one of the cheapest sources of energy, Paraffin is used by millions of people in South Africa as well as Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland. Although mostly used for domestic purposes, such as cooking and heating, paraffin also plays a role in industrial environments. With many sources of energy to choose from, Illuminating Paraffin remains a popular choice due to its inexpensive nature as well as the appliances that it is intended for.
