Light Oil is a petrochemical liquid product produced when processing Medium Oil in the Distillation (Stage II). It can be further processed in a Distillation (Stage III) machine to produce Naphtha and Fuel Gas. Alternatively, it can be burned in a Boiler (Gas) to generate {{infoicon|Steam Hi}, and thus generate Electricity.
The former option is much more common as it allows for the potential production of Rubber and Plastic from Naphtha, though notably both products can also be made using Diesel. However, burning Light Oil directly is a perfectly viable option if there is no requirement to generate these products.
