MARINE Fuel
The quality product is your choice.
Fuel oil is any of various fractions obtained from the distillation of petroleum (crude oil). Such oils include distillates (the lighter fractions) and residues (the heavier fractions). Fuel oils include heavy fuel oil, marine fuel oil (MFO), bunker fuel, furnace oil (FO), gas oil (gasoil), heating oils (such as home heating oil), diesel fuel and others. Fuel oil consists of long-chain hydrocarbons, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. Small molecules, such as those in propane, naphtha, gasoline, and kerosene, have relatively low boiling points, and are removed at the start of the fractional distillation process.
Number 4 fuel oil, also known as Bunker A or Intermediate Fuel Oil (IFO), is a commercial heating oil for burner installations not equipped with preheaters. IFO is a blend of gasoil and heavy fuel oil, with less gasoil than marine diesel oil. They are classified and named according to their viscosity, IFO 180 and IFO 380, with viscosities of 180 mm²/s and 380 mm²/s, respectively.
Number 5 fuel oil is a residual-type industrial heating oil requiring preheating to 77–104°C (171–219°F) for proper atomization at the burners. This fuel is sometimes known as Bunker B or Navy Special Fuel Oil (NSFO) or Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or Furnace Fuel Oil (FFO).
Number 6 fuel oil is a high-viscosity residual oil requiring preheating to 104–127°C (219–261°F). This fuel may be known as Residual Fuel Oil (RFO), by the Navy specification of Bunker C or Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) or Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or Furnace Fuel Oil (FFO) or by the Pacific Specification of PS-400.

DIESEL Fuel
Petroleum is just liquid gold.
Diesel fuel is the common term for the distillate fuel oil sold for use in motor vehicles that use the compression ignition engine named for its inventor, German engineer Rudolf Diesel. He patented his original design in 1892. Diesel fuel is refined from crude oil and from biomass materials.
Marine gasoil (MGO) - specifications generally conform with that of DMA, ISO 8217:2010, with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% (by request can be LSMGO with Suplphur max 0.1%).
EN 590 is the current standard for all automotive diesel fuel sold in the European Union member states and other European countries. This grade of fuel is also called ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD).
Standard diesel fuel (sometimes called diesel oil) comes in two grades: Diesel #1 (or 1-D) and Diesel #2 (or 2-D). Just as gasoline is rated by its octane, diesel fuel is rated by its cetane, which indicates how easy it is to ignite and how fast it burns. The higher the cetane number, the more volatile the fuel.
