Just so you know, its not the same stuff. Heating oil is the next rung down on the ladder from no. 2 diesel. Home heating oil has 1000 BTU more per gallon than no.2 diesel because of the heavier components. It works in furnaces because there are no close fitting parts in the pump/nozzle like in an injector pump. Im reasonably sure it will go through the pump without causing damage, but I would not be comfortable with the low grade waxes, which will go through a fuel filter, leaving sticky deposits on spring-operated parts such as a metering valve. You could probably get away with it, but there have been posts in the recent past, on this forum, about guys with injector pump problems, running the correct fuel.... how does it make sense to dump 20 year old inferior fuel into the tractor to save a couple bucks? Ok, you saved 1000$ on fuel , but it cost $1200 to open the pump.... you have to ask yourself a question.... do I feel lucky?
