Furnace oil is not one single species of petrochemical. The hydrocarbon fuel is a mixture of compounds in the range of 14 to 20 carbon atoms. The chemical formula for some of the more common molecules of heating oil might be C14H30, C15H32, C16H34, C17H36, C18H38, C19H40, or C20H42.

Furnace oil is a type of fuel oil that is typically a complex mixture of hydrocarbons derived from crude oil. Its composition may vary depending on the source and refining process, but it generally contains long-chain hydrocarbons such as alkanes, aromatics, and other organic compounds. It also contains sulfur, nitrogen, and other impurities that can impact its combustion properties.
