can you use diesel as heating oil in home oil heaters safely?

No diesel is way too volatile at high temperatures, and also releases a very high concentration of carbon monoxide relative to heating oil-very very dangerous idea.

I think the only pratical way ot do this will be to distill the kerosene.\n\nBut be aware that you are probably breaking the law by doing so. The colouration is added to make it comply with safety laws.

Mineral oil is used in AC power line step down transformers.\nLow frequency though.

You can use just about any flammable gas.  I used to run our lawnmower from a small bottle of propane just for fun.  With a car it's much tricker because the engine changes speed and you have to somehow change the flow of gas.  You can buy refit kits for propane for many cars, am guessing that hydrogen is available too.  The trick with H is not introducing into the engine, but trying to keep it in storage for use.  It does not like to liquify, so very high pressures have to be used to keep any amount of it.

You can do kerosene injection just like gasoline injection but with different fuel pumps for both applications.Secondly,the fuel economy will not be very good as an engine designed for gasoline runs best on gasoline because properties( chemical and thermal)of Gasoline and kerosene are different.Kerosene will have a different self ignition temp when compared to gasoline.You will be able to optimize the working of the engine by varying the compression ratio to suit the application

. Most "baby oils" are primarily made of mineral oil. To make mineral oil, gasoline and kerosene are removed from crude petroleum by heating, in a method call functional distillation. By using sulfuric acid, applying absorbents, and washing with solvents and alkalis, hydrocarbons and other chemicals are then removed.

try this link  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine\n\ni think this will fulfill your requirement

Motor oil shouldn't burn. It is there to lubricate and cool the engines internal parts. \n\nIt can breakdown over time, then the oil might be called burnt.\n\nOr do you mean burning it like in a lamp? I don't know if motor oil will catch fire - I don't think it will.

Initially, natural animal and vegetable oils were used for lubrication where needed.  Remember that many parts had much larger working clearances than what we are accustomed to today, so lubrication was somewhat less of an issue.

You can make Kerosene for fueling your heaters.........\nand roof patch and driveway sealer.............

We've always used olive oil for that purpose to make a softer candle.\n\nChemically, paraffin is molecularily large alkanes.  The length of the alkane determines its degree fluidity (more accurately, its melting point).  Mineral oil is a purified alkane product that is liquid at room temperature, so it would be most compatible chemically with paraffin and would easily soften it.\n\nMy concern with some of the things that could be added is that it is uncertain what happens to them in the flame.  What sort of toxic substance do they become when burned?

This can not be calculated from the information given.  The terms petrol, diesel fuel and wax can be given to many different mixtures.  All are mostly hydrocarbons.  You would need to know the exact composition to figure the exact amount of energy released.\nThis value could be determined experimentally in a “bomb” style calorimeter.

Mineral oil SHOULD NOT be used if you have a colostomy or an ileostomy, think you have appendicitis, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, dysphagia or hiatal hernia.\n\nMineral oil may impair absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, oral contraceptives, and coumarin.

You could measure the volume of fuel in the tank by weighing the tank accurately as it is filled with fuel. The weight of a gallon of fuel is known accurately. Home heating oil tanks utilize crude floats to measure the height of the oil level in the tank, but more sophisticated level indicators are available for industrial uses.\nSearch http://www.ThomasNet.com for that application.\nhttp://www.thomasnet.com/nsearch.html?cov=NA&which=prod&what=tank+level+sensors&navsec=search&heading=96118542

None we keep all our oil just in case.

Well first I would say go buy an issue of diesel power mag from your local walmart or trucks mag has duramax stuff also. You can get all kinds of programmers for them to increase power but you need to do alot of reading online to full understand how diesels work and what to do and what to not do to them. I gave you a link there, there are 3 different generations on them so you pick which ever forum is appropriate. Those people on there are very helpful. Hope I was helpful!
