In all ACTUALITY, home heating oil is generally #1 diesel. While it will

Where exactly is that? I spent some 34 years in the northeast US and
heating oil there is most certainly #2 fuel oil.


Heating oil is always #2 mainly because it has higher heating content
and more of it is available when the crude is processed. The only time
#1 is used is when the tank and lines are outside and above ground
because paraffin crystals will form in really cold weather and block the
line.
