Distillate is another name used in the trade for kerosene type products i.e. diesel fuel, steam engine fuel oil and heating oil. It simply means oil that has been distilled (refined). The term is applied to all petroleum products between gasoline and residual oil. Steam engines burned everything from heavy distillate (number 3 & 4) to residual oil (black oil).  Most diesel fuel is number 2 and most heating oil is number 1.

Any guesses what the distillate (up to 10,000 gallons) would be used for? And still on the subject of renumbering, any idea why tank cars were renumbered out of the revenue service numbering in about 1938?

In light of recent discussions about the use of company-owned tank cars in revenue service (which occurred primarily before their renumbering into the 230000 series), here are a couple of bits of correspondence on the topic that I uncovered in the Colorado Railroad Museum library while sorting old records yesterday:
 
Denver, Colo., August 10, 1932
 
Geo. Eckhart, CB&Q, Casper
 
Purchasing Department ordering today from Continental OIl Company one car distillate to be billed C&S Denver, wanted destination ot later than 15th, understand will load at Standard Oil Company, Casper.  Protect with CB&Q car.   K 338.
