Hi Jay,

That would about right for ruff gross heating values but what we actually see and use is net heating values that has lower BTU's mostly from water content and the crude oil soruce.

The location of the source has a huge roll in determining net BTU's per gallon wheather it be dino oil or vegetable oil.

Example: From my combustion engineers handbook for gross BTU/lb

#2 Alaska crude= 18470btu/lb
#2 MiddleEast crude= 19070btu/lb
#2 Venezuela crude= 18400btu/lb

Clean #2D contains about 500ppm of water contained with-in the fuel.

Clean B100 contains about 1500ppm of water contained with-in the fuel.

Both quotes from ASTM standards.
