"What is the density of fuel oil?"
If Water = 1 - then Fuel Oil (Diesel) = 0.867 @60/60 Deg F
Most boilers combust some type of hydrocarbon fuel such as natural gas, heating oil, heavy fuel oil, coal, biomass, or petroleum coke. The fuel must either be stored on site or stored offsite and input by a pipeline.
The oil will change densities based on the temperature. When it gets too hot, it will get less dense and visa versa.
It depends on the temperature. For 0 degrees Celsius it is 899.0 kg/m^3. For 20 degrees it is 888.1 kg/m^3. For 40 degrees it is 876.0 kg/m^3. For 60 degrees it is 863.9 kg/m^3. For 80 degrees it is 852.0 kg/m^3. For 100 degrees it is 840.0 kg/m^3. For 120 degrees it is 828.9 kg/m^3. For 140 degrees it is 816.8 kg/m^3. For 150 degrees it is 810.3 kg/m^3.
The Density of oil is greater than the density of water.
Oil heating is a form of fuel which is an alternative to electric powered heating. More information about oil heating can be found online on Wikipedia.
The oil heating industry sells residential fuel oil to houses that use oil tanks for heating purposes. Fuel oil distributors are contacted when a household's oil supply is low. A fuel oil delivery is then scheduled and a truck will come to refill the tank on the scheduled date. The price of residential heating oil largely fluctuate based on your location, current demand, and speculation. Emergency heating oil delivery can also be scheduled.

The residential heating oil industry is currently working to cut the sulfur content of heating oil and residential fuel oil from 1,500 parts per million to 15 parts per million by 2018. In addition to sulfur reduction, the heating oil industry is also working on new fuel blends called Bioheat which contain between 2 and 20 percent renewable fuel.
The kerosene is a lighter oil. I think you would get more BTUs out of the heating oil. Just make sure that you are using the right fuel for the furnace that you have. Most now days would take heating oil.
To convert cubic meters to metric tonnes of fuel oil, divide the volume in cubic meters by the density of the fuel oil in tonnes/m³ (or in kg/l). The density will depends upon the temperature of the fuel oil.
Probably any other type of heating oil though you will lose capacity due to the different (lower) btu rating of other grades of heating fuel oil.
Approximately 5.5 million households in the United States use heating oil as a primary heating fuel source.
Yes, home heating oil and diesel fuel are almost identical and can be used interchangeably. Home heating oil used in a diesel vehicle is subject to road tax and you can be fined if caught using it to avoid road tax.
Visit the websites for fuel oil distributors in your area. These companies offer residential heating oil that is delivered directly to your home's tank and will even offer an emergency oil delivery if your tank is completely empty. You should also be able to receive a quote for the current price of residential fuel oil so you can estimate your home heating costs in advance.
