Boiling point of crude oil is depending on the main component in the crude oil itself, heavy crude for example has a higher boiling point from light crude. read more

Olive oil reaches a boiling point at 375 F. At the higher end of the spectrum, safflower oil boils at 510 F. The boiling point of the different elements that comprise crude oil range from 34 F (liquefied petroleum gas) to more than 750 F (refinery gas oil). read more
