Oil is commonly brought to the marketplace by oil marketers and distributors. Oil marketers and distributors serve a wide range of industries. The oil products handled by oil marketers and distributors are most often used in fuel applications, such as gasoline, distillate fuel (including home heating oil and diesel), kerosene-type jet fuel, residual fuel oil used in industry, marine transportation and for electric power generation. However, oil marketers and distributors provide oil for other uses as well. These include various specialized products for use in the textile, metallurgical, electrical, and other industries. A number of everyday products that are derived from crude oil, including solvents such as those used in paints, lacquers, and printing inks, are also handled by oil marketers and distributors.
