GAS OIL.

Automotive Gas Oil.

Automotive Gas Oil, or AGO, is the name given to fuel intended for use in road vehicles (trucks, buses, vans and cars) powered by diesel engines. The fuel is obtained in the mid-boiling range from the distillation and processing of crude oil.

Related fuels, such as Industrial Gas Oils (IGOs), which are used for non-road applications including off-road diesel engines, are obtained from the same fraction of the crude oil barrel. While Automotive Gas Oil is the technical name used by the oil industry, automotive diesel fuel,or just plain ‘diesel’, are the more common and widespread names used by the consumer. ‘Middle Distillates’ is the generic oil industry name for gasoils, including both AGO and IGO.
