As crude is primary distilled. Propane, naptha gasoline, kerosene, #1 fuel oil, #2 fuel oil, #3, fuel oil etc to #6 fuel oil which is thick nasty bunker C. My grandparents and parents refer to "kerosene" which is used in lanterns as "coal oil". I'm 99% sure kerosene/coal oil is what you call parafine. In the colonies, parafine is a pure white wax at room temps. It's melted and poured ontop of jams, preserves or wine to seal the food from air and spoiling.
Propane/LP for use in pressurized bottles in spark ignition motor vehicles, BBQ's, camp stoves, camping lanterns etc. Naptha gasoline which is further refined to raise the octane from about a base of 50 to 87, 89,91, 94 for street gasoline to 116 for racing gasoline.All unleaded. Kerosene there is only one grade/weight/viscosity. Depending on the application the amount of sulphur and other stinky impurities will be removed. The really clean and pure stuff is labeled for wick type lanterns, torpedo heaters & wick type heaters. Jet A-1 which is also kerosene is also very clean and pure with all kinds of testing and verification of quality before being pumped into aircraft. Jet B is a winter blend of Kerosene/JetA-1 with a bit of naptha gasoline added. "Kerosene" is the fuel of choice for old "all fuel" spark ignition engines. Pre 1960 "all fuel" equiped tractors, stationary engines etc. 4 to 1 compression ratio. They start on gasoline till hot then switch to kerosene. #1 fuel oil is heavier,more viscous,thicker than kerosene. It usually has the dissolved wax removed. Used at below freezing temps, in particular below -18C. Kerosene blended in for -40C. For compression ignition diesel engines and non flying gas turbine engines. Also summer use in very low compression spark ignition engines called "all fuel". Sold with various amounts of sulphur. Colour dyed fuel is sold for off road equipment and home heating fuel without road tax
#2 diesel. Exact same everything as #1 diesel except for use at temps above freezing. Contains dissolved wax which bungs fuel filters at sub freezing temps.
#3 and heavier fuel oil. Stationary boilers, power plants, ships etc. Thicker, heavier etc. Needs pre-heating before pumping,filtering or being injected in in cool weather.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
