## Product Bo M

**Input To**:
- [Residential Space Heating](/Processes/Residential_Space_Heating)
- [Heating Oil Blending](/Processes/Heating_Oil_Blending)
**Summary**: A light middle-distillate petroleum product refined from crude oil and burned in residential and light-commercial furnaces and boilers; it is essentially the same distillate cut as on-road diesel, differentiated by dye, sulfur specification, and taxation. Being a homogeneous liquid it has no assembled bill-of-materials, but it is the distillation fraction between kerosene and the heavier gas oils.
