When I order a fillup of central heating oil I'm always asked if I want kerosene or ordinary home heating oil. I always say to give me what I got last time, which is ordinary home heating oil. Could my system use kerosene if it was all I could get?
the only two heating oil products i know are kerosene or mgo (also known as marked gas oil, green diesel, agri diesel, or ..dirty diesel) and the majority of oil heating systems use kerosene.
only a very small percentage of homes use mgo.
i think some systems can work on either but they are usually set up so that one of the products should be used.
maybe someone more knowledgable than me can give you better info...daveyjones?

A diesel burner will usually burn kerosene no problem,but a kerosene burner will not burn diesel.Most burners these days use kerosene as it's far cleaner.
