What does one fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It is the energy released by burning one kiloliter of a specified reference fuel oil, serving as a volume-based energy measure.

What is Btu (th) used for?

Btu (th) quantifies energy for heating, cooling, and fuel content, commonly applied in equipment ratings and energy content expression.

Why might conversion results vary slightly?

Differences in actual fuel composition, temperature, pressure, and varying Btu definitions can cause slight variations in results.
