Light oils are mineral oil products in which more than 90% has evaporated as part of the boiling analysis at a temperature of 210 ° C. This includes motor gasoline and light kerosene , but not diesel fuel , heating oil or petroleum .
Light oil is also a term used in customs and tax law. Within the framework of customs group 27.10, there are twelve entries in subheading 12 : Three of these tariff numbers are described as "light oil ...". The other mineral oil products in this subheading are five headings: motor gasoline as well as white spirit , specialty gasoline , aviation fuel and light aviation turbine fuel .
In addition to the light oil with the CAS number 8008-20-6 (shown in the table), the GESTIS substance database also lists the following substances, which each differ in their specific material composition:
- Light oil (coal), semi-coking process; Light oil (CAS No. 90641-11-5)
- Light oil (coal), coke oven; Crude benzene (CAS No. 65996-78-3)
