Yes, you can store diesel fuel in a home tank. It will be important that you store it in a tank designed to hold diesel fuel and that it is stored outside in a location that will not create hazardous or safety concerns. You also need to maintain the tank and the fuel properly.

Can you use diesel in place of k1 kerosene?
Typically cars either burn gasoline or diesel fuel if the engines are equipped to burn that. Kerosene is normally not used in a diesel but it will function in an emergency just as well as diesel fuel except that the injection parts will not receive much lubrication. But it will get you home in a pinch. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a wick type kerosene heater then no. Diesel fuel will smoke and stink compared to kerosene. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a kerosene heater that is like a salamander, then maybe. I use #2 diesel in my salamander and it works fine and heats my garage up ok. Kerosene does burn cleaner though.
