1. A method comprising: (a) a step of obtaining steam cracked tar, wherein (a) includes fractionating the effluent of a pyrolysis furnace to provide a bottoms product comprising steam cracked tar and to provide one or more products comprising light olefins selected from ethylene, propylene, and butenes, are separated in a primary fractionator, and isolating a bottoms product comprising tar from said fractionating;(b) at least one step of treating said steam cracked tar via solvent deasphalting to remove asphaltenes to provide a deasphalted tar; and(c) at least one step of hydrotreating said deasphalted tar to obtain a hydrotreated, deasphalted tar product;(d) separating a hydrocrackate from said hydrotreated, deasphalted tar product by fractionation, wherein (i) said hydrocrackate is obtained as bottoms product and (ii) said hydrocrackate is characterized as providing a viscosity and sulfur credit versus Bunker C Fuel; and(e) blending said hydrocrackate with Bunker Fuel to produce a compatible blend. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) further includes providing a feed comprising crude oil or fraction thereof to said pyrolysis furnace and cracking said feed to produce said effluent. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said feed is selected from the group consisting of whole crude optionally desalted, gas oil, atmospheric resid, and mixtures thereof. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein said feed passes through a vapor/liquid separation device integrated with the convection section of said pyrolysis furnace. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said hydrotreating comprises hydrocracking and wherein said process is further characterized as having no other hydrogenation step between step (a) and step (d). 6. The method of claim 1, wherein step (c) comprises hydrocracking, optionally in the presence of a hydrocracking catalyst. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said hydrocracking includes reactor conditions of from about 316° C. to 427° C., from about 500 to 3000 psig hydrogen partial pressure, and a space velocity of from about 3 to 7 gm/hr/mg catalyst. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein step (c) comprises hydrotreating under conditions including a reactor temperature of from about 343° C. to 427° C. with pressure of from about 1500 to 3000 psig hydrogen partial pressure, and a space velocity of less than <3 gm/hr/mg catalyst. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) further comprises membrane separation. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein step (b) includes separation by at least one ceramic membrane. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising fractionating the product of step (d) to produce a product suitable for and compatible in all proportions with at least one fuel selected from the group consisting of diesel fuel, mogas, and refinery fuel oil pools. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein said effluent is from said pyrolysis furnace having a radiant outlet temperature between 760° C. to 880° C. 13. A process comprising a step of steam cracking of a feedstock to provide a first product comprising light olefins selected from ethylene, propylene, and butenes, and steam cracked tar, a step of deasphalting said steam cracked tar via solvent deasphalting to provide a deasphalted tar, a step of hydrotreating said deasphalted tar to provide a hydrotreated deasphalted tar, a step of fractionating said hydrotreated deasphalted tar to provide a hydrotreated bottoms product, and a step of blending said hydrotreated bottoms product with Bunker Fuel to produce a compatible blend; and wherein (i) the first product and the steam cracked tar are separated in a primary fractionator; (ii) said hydrotreated bottoms product has a viscosity and sulfur credit versus Bunker C Fuel; and (iii) said hydrotreating is selected from the group consisting of hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogention, hydrodeoxygenation, hydrofining, and combinations thereof. 14. The process of claim 13, wherein said process is carried out in a system comprising, fluidly connected in series, a pyrolysis furnace, said primary fractionator suitable for providing tar as a bottoms product, a deasphalter suitable for deasphalting steam cracked tar, and at least one hydrotreater, preferably including a hydrocracker, suitable for hydrotreating deasphalted tar, and optionally a fractionator downstream of said hydrotreater.
