Definition
Gas oils (petroleum), light vacuum is a complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by the vacuum distillation of the residuum from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C13 through C30 and boiling in the range of approximately 230.degree.C to 450.degree.C (446.degree.F to 842.degree.F).
