It's been years since I have dealt with home heating oil. I know aviation fuels are color-coded (dyed) so you can tell the grades apart.

The older diesels will run on almost anything combustible. I've seen them set-up to run on used/filtered fryer grease. My buddy (who is a shop foreman for a Honda dealer) used to have an older Dodge with the Cummins diesel that he had set-up to run on a blend of used transmission fluid from the shop. He didn't have to buy as much diesel, and they didn't have to pay to dispose of the used transmission fluid--win/win.

New ones can't do that because of the DEF injection and DPF systems.
