Fuel oil behaves essentially the same as diesel fuel. It's a
different color because the tax rate is different. Fuel oil
can be used for off road devices such as diesel engine
tractor. Runs fine in over the road trucks, but the DOT
fines are highly painful.

Your fuel oil tank can power a diesel generator just fine.

We have a 275 gallon fuel oil tank for the furnace. So there
are
generators which would run off the same stuff I use for
heating? Never
knew that; thanks, I'll look into those.
