Oil & Fuel Running on #2 home heating oil?

[kenstrac]

Last June I bought 60 gallons of fuel.
Around these parts they call it HHO or Diesel.
Took me 6 months to use it all up.
Did not have have any problems with it at all and still have some ot it in each of my 3 tractors.

All 3 tractors are running fine on it 9 months later.
Is that becaus it was really off road diesel instead of HHO or is it because Diesel and HHO are actually the same thing?

As a side note this is summer not winter stuff and it still worked great in the cold days of winter.

OK lets set the record straight
HHO used to burn in furnace
OFF Road and ON road Diesel same except color used in engine
As in previous post some refiners do indeed add the proper additives and filter out more of the impurities and market as HHO and off road diesel ,my oil supplier does not.
I chose to run HHO in the summer and put in my own additives I was using 300-500 alone for diesel fuel. Called a supplier that did have Off Highway fuel he wanted 15 cents more a gallon than I could buy ON Road diesel for.
When late fall would roll around I would go to the truck stop and buy ON Road diesel for winter use in the tractor and back hoe to keep my property plowed out since this was a winter blend I did not have to cut it with K1.
One year we kept getting dumped on with snow,my wife was home alone 2 weeks while I was in the sunny warm south working, people would stop by and plow the house but not the barn and shop (pretty rough )plowing w/pickup.
When I got home I had a mess cleaned up with tractor and back hoe both started and ran fine.
Around the barn I needed the dozer it would not start after 2 hrs of heating the fuel system with a torch and adding a large dose of PS I finally got it running.
So you can do what you want BUT I learned my lesson.

I'd say they are using ON ROAD for all 3 purposes in my area.
(1-On road 2-Off road & 3-Home heating oil)
For On road use the fuel is left un dyed and a highway tax is added to it otherwise it's dyed red with out any highway tax being added and sold to home heating customers and off road users, in which case not only is
Off Road and HHO the same thing So too is On Road.
Talk about 3 N 1 Oil.
Wouldn't doubt the same thing is going on in many other areas and places across the country.

OK lets set the record straight.

1*OFF Road and ON Road Diesel are the same except color and are used in engines.
2*As in previous post some refiners do indeed add the proper additives and filter out more of the impurities and market it as HHO and off road diesel.
3*HHO used to burn in a furnace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1*True but I don't see any reason why you can't use the OFF Road and ON Road Diesel in a home furnace to heat your house.
2*Add Additives to what & filter out more of the impurities in what; The home heating oil or the off road?
3*I wouldn't think you would have to do any thing to on road or off road to make it suitable to use in a home furnace.
