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.

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