F. to convert a substantial portion thereof to components boiling below 1000.degree. F. is disclosed. More particularly, aromatic heavy oil additive, such as Heavy Cycle Gas Oil, is added to a heavy hydrocarbon feed stream and the stream is contacted with a solid catalyst and an oil-miscible metal naphthenate.
