Where is the Asphalt coming from these days?
When I was working in India, 30+ years ago, they had "cold" stored residual oil which was basically just asphalt. You could walk across the open storage tanks.
As a side note, one power station had a bunch of #2 (basically diesel) fuel oil peaking gas turbines. I cam in because they tested a unit and could not get it to full load. The pressure was very high and the relief valve on the fuel system was recircuiting more than half the fuel. Turned out, someone had refilled the #2 fuel oil tanks with #6 fuel oil. The viscosity of the #6 was causing the problems.
