As for heating oil most is kerosene and needs engine oil adding to it so it lubes the injector pump,we used to put a pint of engine oil in a 5 gallon butt of heating oil and ran a few older motors without hassle but i have seen a few jap 4x4 have no end of issues with using mixed heating oil.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
