Bunker Fuels [1]

Heavy fuel oil used in ships’ boilers.

Bunker B is a No. 5 fuel oil, sometimes referred to as Navy Special. Bunker C is a No. 6 fuel oil. It is so thick, in cool weather it more closely resembles a solid than a liquid. No. 6 oil is used in a number of industrial heating applications, as well as for powering ships.
