français term

carburants légers

français vers anglais Technique / Génie Génie et sciences pétrolières
Hi - this term comes from a purchase agreement: "XXX recherche un fournisseur de carburants légers afin de combler les besoins réguliers, etc." Aside from this one little term, no other context and the rest of the document is all contract stuff. I don't normally deal with oil and gas terminology so I appreciate the help in advance. (My guess is "light fuels" but I can't verify that anywhere.)

Many thanks in advance!
Proposed translations (anglais)
3 +5 light fuels
5 light fuels
5 light fuel oils

agree David Sirett : But careful with references--the photonics.com one is completely irrelevant, using "fuels" as a verb.

light fuels

I have no doubts about this. When I lived in the USA, I heard the term a number of times, and I was able to verify it on a number of industrial internet sources, including the one listed below.
