I use heating oil 'red' in my tractors and other agri engines as well as an old diesel fiesta (off-road use of course) apart from abit more smoke and maybe needing to run the heaters for longer on cold days, ive had no problems at all.

pump diesel is a yellowy?green

IF i were to run on kero it would be tank of kero/2 ltr hydraulic 32 mix.

I'd never do this in my transit cos i sell gas oil and would lose my rdco liscence if i got caught

I've put a 25ltr/.5ltr mix is my seat 1.9tdi and drove to somerset and it ran fine no smoke, good mpg(still 50+)... etc

Just 2 ltrs, its a good job you said that because my sons mate was saying one gallon of silkolene engine oil mixed with 5 gallons of CHF

When we moved into our current home, the last "idiot" who lived here, had been burning red diesiel in our heating.. The guy from the gas engineers wasnt impressed, as he ended up having to replace a load of bits which had got clogged up with it, as he had ran it empty, and erm it wasnt pretty.

this is sligtly off topic, but i work for the gas and one of my colleagues went to a house recently owned by an amateur mechanic. the guy in his wisdom had decided to put used engine oil into his central heating system to circulate round better. DONT try it as it dosent work, and we now refuse to touch it as its contaminated and we cant drain it due to environmental regs. also it is gonna burn his pump out, as the extra density over water is more than the pump is designed for!
