Yes and no.
An unmodified oil burner will burn far more kerosene than fuel oil for which it is designed. If you replace the nozzle with a smaller nozzle and adjust the air, using an orsatz [orsat gas analyzer], a device for determining the combustion efficiency of the flame, you will be able to use kerosene.
* interesting fact: Kerosene is also known as #1 fuel oil, or JP5 jet fuel.
Mixing kerosene with #2 fuel oil, (home heating oil) in small amounts, should have no appreciable effect on the furnace efficiency.

When would an oil furnace use 2 supply lines?
If you see two oil lines going to your oil furnace, most likely one is a supply line and the other is the return line to the oil tank. When it is necessary to lift oil to the burner, a return line should be connected between the fuel pump and tank. This requires insertion of the bypass plug into the fuel pump.
