Home Fuel Oil?

I have a diesel Kubota (as well as a 7.3 PSD Truck). Will I hurt the engine if I use home fuel oil?

Home heating fuel is colored? I thought it was only off road diesel that was.

Info 4u: A Diesel & A Turbine engine will run on chord wood if you could get it chopped fine enough... Remeber Rudi Diesel built this engine to run on veggi oil its origion was to give power to the small shop owner and boats.... Now ome oil would work great in it i would use it if i coulf get my hands on some.. I believe home heeting oil was once caled #1 fuel oil or diesel without additives

It will run, but you will be kicking yourself in the rear if you get caught, that I promise you. Ka-ching! Fines are stiff.

correct me if i'm wrong; home heating oil is the same as #2 diesel except for the dye.

the kubota, i assume is a tractor, can use untaxed fuel.

the truck, don't get caught.
