Abstract
The bulk of hydrocarbon-type fuels to date are derived from crude oil, but large quantities are also obtainable as secondary products from coal, and other fossil deposits. In rare cases, crude oil can be used directly from the wellhead, comparable to the burning of run-of-mine coal, but in general it is subjected to a variety of refining and blending processes before the resulting products are suitable for use.
