This is somewhat flexible.  Fuel types in EnergyPlus, in almost all cases 
provide a bin to add up the consumption of different fuel types.  The heat 
content or other properties of the fuel are only important when using 
"Environmental Impact Factors" and "Fuel Factors" objects to calculate 
environmental emissions.  


Fuel oil comes in many varieties from heavy to light, so these are two generic 
fuel oil bins which the user can define as needed. The data sets provided in 
"Fossil Fuel Environmental Impact Factors.idf" define these according to US EPA 
standard properties and include properties for more than one grade of fuel oil.

I hope that helps, it is a bit confusing.  But if you are not using 
environmental factors, it does not matter.  Just specify FuelOil#1 and the 
total Joules of fuel oil consumption will be summed up for any equipment which 
uses oil.
