Just as surely as every gas engine has a minimum, numbered, 'octane' anti-knock requirement, every diesel engine has a minimum, numbered, 'cetane' anti-knock requirement. Likewise, all gasoline and diesel fuel is engineered to a certain, numbered, rating. My car has a minimum octane requirement of 87 and my tractors have a minimum cetane requirement of 40. Find out what your tractors' requirement is and then find out if the supplier will give you a written guarantee that it meets or exceeds that number. The supplier who said 'no' probably is worried that you might buy fuel oil for diesel use from them and doesn't want to work up the needed documentation or be responsible if there's a problem.
