Crude oil fell in New York before a report forecast to show that U.S. inventories of heating oil and other distillate fuels rose from their highest in 26 years.
The Energy Department may report a 1.45 million-barrel increase in U.S. distillate fuel inventories in the week to Sept. 18, according to the median of estimates in a Bloomberg survey. Stockpiles, which also include diesel, were previously at 167.8 million barrels, the most since January 1983.
