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. Light oil, on the other hand, refers to a broader category of petroleum products that includes various fractions of crude oil, such as gasoline and kerosene, in addition to diesel. Therefore, while all diesel is a type of light oil, not all light oil is diesel.

Diesel fuel smells the same as home heating oil.
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.
By this thing that goes around and it is cool, it also smells weird It is refined from crude oil somewhat in the same manner as gasoline.
If you mean motor oil, yes.
Fuel oil and diesel fuel are similar, but they are not the same thing. Each has its own ASTM standards. Check with your heating oil supplier. If you don't trust his opinion, check with the manufacturer of your furnace. Those are the two groups of experts.
