What is the calorific value of diesel fuel?
When we are making a thermodynamic analysis of a system where diesel fuel is combusted we use the heating value of the fuel. You must determine whether you should use the higher heating value (HHV), or lower heating value (LHV), based on the application. Hope this helps.
Would it be cheaper to generate your own electric with a diesel generator and use its cooling system for my heating?
Yes, a diesel engine wastes 2/3 to 3/4 of the energy in the fuel as heat in the exhaust and in the cooling system. That heat can be recovered and used for space heating. A system that does that is call 'combined heat and power' or CHP. CHP systems are in common use in factories etc.
Is there a difference between heating oil and diesel?
There are different grades of diesel fuel and heating oil but in general they have similar qualities including the flash point. The flash point is the temperature at which the fuel ignites on its own, without a spark. Diesel fuel used to only be available along truck routes. Before diesel fuel became easily available everywhere, people with diesel engine cars would use heating fuel, but would have to make sure it is clean, passing it through a filter to remove foreign particles.

Can I used unleaded fuel in a diesel van?
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

Is it ok to use jet a fuel in a diesel engine what kind of addatives should be used for fuel system lubrication?
It is not a great idea, you will be likely to ruin your fuel system. Jet fuel is low lubricity compared to diesel fuel. Perhaps someone can identify a commerially available lubricity additive. The US military has a lubricity additive to make jet fuel acceptable for ground vehicle use.
