Les combustibles liquides présentent certains avantages par rapport aux combustibles solides : ils sont moins encombrants, ne donnent pas de cendres, ont un pouvoir calorifique plus élevé et, surtout, ils sont d'un emploi plus pratique, avec mise en marche rapide et facilité d'arrêt de la combustion. Les combustibles liquides les plus importants sont le pétrole et ses fractions (essence, gas-oil, mazout), le benzène, le benzol, les alcools méthylique et éthylique, etc. 2, record 2, French, - combustible%20liquide

Les combustibles liquides les plus importants sont ceux qui proviennent du raffinage du pétrole. On distingue essentiellement les «carburants» destinés à la propulsion : gazole, essence auto, supercarburant, carburéacteurs, et les «fuels-oils», ou mazouts, destinés aux moteurs Diesel fixes, à la propulsion des navires et à la production de chaleur (fuel-oil domestique et fuels-oils lourds en France). 3, record 2, French, - combustible%20liquide
