🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between oil density and how easily it separates from water in an oily‑water mixture • General density range of heavy residual fuel oils versus light distillate oils compared with seawater and freshwater • How blended fuels (distillate/residual mixes) behave in terms of density compared with their pure components

💭 Think About

• Which type of fuel oil is typically the heaviest (highest density) and which is the lightest? Rank the four options from lightest to heaviest in your mind. • Think about oily‑water separators: which oils rise quickly to the top (much lighter than water) and which stay more suspended (density closer to water)? • Consider what happens when you mix a very heavy fuel with a very light fuel—where would you expect the mixture’s density to fall compared to pure heavy or pure light oils?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fuel categories are pure distillates, which are pure residuals, and which are blends. • Check which fuel type is commonly described as having a high viscosity and high specific gravity (closest to water’s density). • Confirm that the fuel you choose would make separation from water more difficult because its density is nearer to that of water.
