I agree. I've never seen a torpedo heater made to run on fuel oil.
Only K-1 grade kerosene which is further distilled and much cleaner.


Check this out-
http://www.masterheaters.com/kero/

"Kerosene Heaters Use Only: Kerosene, No. 1 & 2 Diesel Fuel Oil, JP-8
Fuel or Jet A Fuel "

There are a half dozen there that burn diesel. -With cautions that
it might smell & might need more maintenance.

Yes, I've seen plenty that are spec'd to use #2 if you want.
