I am seeing conflicting accounts of this.

Some say "No Way"... Home heating oil is not just #2 diesel with dye
added. It lacks certain lubricants and will ruin the engine.

Others say "No Problem".... Home heating oil and RV fuel are the same
stuff: #2 diesel with a dye added.

First thing that I think is "What, exactly, is Home Heating Oil?"....
and that the answer that comes to mind is "It can vary from
location-to-location and time-to-time, since a furnace is relatively
non-critical compared to an engine".

So... I anybody actually *doing* this?

If so, how did you verify the quality of the oil?

When the price of Diesel was high, I pumped heating oil out of the tank
and ran it in my Kubota tractor. Didn't notice any difference.
