Reply to "Use of FO in diesel engines"

francisbrabantMember

The short answer is yes and no!

Furnace oil is basically the same as diesel. But, for furnace use, the cetane rating and the wax content is not an issue. It is for your diesel. On a slow running diesel, where the FO is at room temperature, It will run fine. Not in a high performance road diesel. If you are looking to reduce your cost, use coloured diesel (detaxed for off road use - see your local regulations).

Sulfur is a lubricant. Not a problem for the engine, screws up the environment... ;(
(acid rain).
