FWIW
I use diesel in my torpedo heater all the time. Your breakdown was
just
a coincidence. Mine just needs a cleaning when this happens.

Diesel has more heavy wax in it than kerosene, not as refined a grade. I
use
kerosene as an improved #1 diesel for extreme cold weather starting in the
John Deere.
