Sulfer & water content....and if it's off road diesel fuel - the color. It won't cause problems to use diesel in a heating oil tank, but it will cause a whole lot of trouble if you use heating oil in a diesel tank
yes, i just ran out 2 weeks ago and researched it pretty hard. assuming ur tallking about home heating?
diesel fuel contains detergent, cetane improvers,lubrocity improvers, etc. home heating oil doesn't. most application are interchangable. truck stops commenly sell home heating oil because its cheaper. they also sell premium diesel which is supposed to be real diesel. that's why drivers buy howes, or power service and dope their fuel. dyed fuel is for off road use and does not have road tax collected on it #1 and #2 are viscosity ratings.
u can use diesel fuel but why would you? heating oil has no tax and is so much cheaper than road fuel

Sure. I only use it during power outages to save looking of a station that has power to pump diesel. My generator attaches to the PTO. Works fine .
We are usually use FO plus High speed Diesel in Reboiler.
not legal as road use tax was not added to sell price...ez to catch due to coloring added to heating fuel oil...your engine can't tell which it guzzles.
