🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash point and why it matters for fire safety • Typical flash point ranges for light vs. heavy fuel oils • How the numbering of fuel oils (No. 2 vs No. 6) relates to volatility and ignition temperature

💭 Think About

• Compare these temperatures to what you would expect for a very heavy, less volatile fuel used in large marine engines. • Ask yourself: would a heavy fuel like No. 6 normally ignite at a low kitchen-oven temperature, or does it require much higher heating? • Think about how fuel oil numbers (2, 4, 5, 6) progress in terms of being lighter/heavier and how that affects flash point.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option best matches a high flash point appropriate for a thick, residual fuel. • Check that the chosen range is significantly higher than typical room temperature (around 70°F). • Confirm that the temperature range aligns with what the Chemical Data Guide lists for residual fuel oils rather than distillate fuels.
