What is the difference between the diesel and the gasoline?
The difference between diesel fuel and gasoline is the amount of refining that occurs to the oil. There are many different "flavors" of oil that are pumped out of the ground in varying locations. Depending on the oil that is pumped out, it's easier to use the oil for various different purposes. Furthermore, oil is then refined in large facilities call oil refineries. Gasoline is more refined than diesel fuel, which is the main difference between the two, as far as I know.

Is diesel oil and diesel the same?
Diesel fuel is often referred to as "diesel oil" or "heavy oil". Do not confuse this with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means "lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel engines". My first Ford Fiesta diesel's tax disc said - "Fuel - Heavy Oil". They've now realised that this term is anachronistic, and my latest tax disc reads "Fuel - Diesel". To be pedantic - Diesel fuel is an oil - Petrol is a spirit.
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.
