No way hosea!
Is it possible if you have the right setup. It all depends on what type of furnace you are using
Not without causing further problems - in mobile home furnaces especially. Using heating oil in a smaller system can result in clogged nozzles and filters causing the system to malfuntion or even worse OVERHEAT causing fire danger. Also straight kerosene won't gel in colder temperatures like heating oil will

Furnace not working efficiently, would a furnace cleaning help?
I noticed last year that my furnace didn't seem to working as efficiently as before. Would hiring a furnace duct cleaning service help? Would my furnace work better afterwards, or does a cleaning only help the air quality?
Fixing Your Furnace?

How long does a central heating system last?
2 weeks ago I replaced my 26 year old gas furnace/central ac unit. Both were working properly up until the end.
How can I tell if my furnace is working at its best?
Given the major expense of a home's heating system, it's a good idea to have your HVAC expert come out late in the summer/early fall to do an inspection and annual maintenance on the furnace. Most companies run specials that time of year, which helps them avoid emergency calls in January about furnaces that have suddenly stop working. Once you get a "clean bill of health" for your furnace, keep a stack of filters nearby and change the filter every 30 days. This will keep clean air flowing more easily and not cause undue stress on the furnace.
