Why does the conversion value for fuel oil equivalent vary?

The energy content of a barrel of fuel oil can differ depending on the grade and density of the fuel, leading to variability in conversion results.

Can this converter be used for billing electricity consumption?

While the converter translates fuel oil energy into kilowatt-hours, which is used in electricity billing, it is primarily meant for energy accounting rather than direct electricity billing.

Is the conversion exact for all types of fuel oil?

No, because fuel oil properties vary, the conversion provides approximate energy equivalence rather than an exact figure.
