Diesel and light oil are not the same, although they are related. Diesel fuel is a specific type of light oil derived from crude oil, designed for use in diesel engines.

Therefore, while all diesel is a type of light oil, not all light oil is diesel.

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.
