Heavy petroleum (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diesel

(Other definitions for diesel that I've seen before include "Train perhaps" , "See lid for the engine" , "Liquid fuel" , "Fuel used by heavy vehicles" , "Rudolf __ , French-born German engine inventor, d.1913" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
