  1. I have a Reddy 115000 btu "jet" type heater. Instructions state you can run almost anything in it. Kerosene, diesel, heating oil, jet fuel, etc. I have run it on construction sites using "off-road" dyed diesel, and one winter used #2 dyed heating oil from an oil tank I removed during a change-out to gas fired boiler. When using these fuels, it stunk bad on start-up, but was fine once the cone started glowing red. In this extreme cold, my 1920 vintage home with no insulation that originally had a wood stove in each room, the heating system was no keeping up. When the house drooped below 55F, I decided to bring this unit in the house and run it 15/20 minutes every 4-6 hrs or so. So, I purchased 5 gal of clear K1 kerosene. While pumping, first I noticed is this cost $1.20 a gallon more than on-road diesel. Then I also noticed a fairly new sign that stated "NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE. MAY CONTAIN OVER 500 PPM SULPHER". Now, up to June 2007, dyed off-road diesel was limited to 3000 ppm sulpher (I think) and highway diesel was limited to 1500 ppm sulpher. My understanding of the main difference was K1 kerosene had much less sulpher, so it did not stink when burned. SO NOW THE QUESTION!! Since current highway diesel is now limited to 15 ppm (yes, 15. No zeros) and even after paying highway taxes is $1.20gal less than the K1 which may have MORE than 500ppm, why should I not run the diesel? Or is it something other than the sulpher that is the problem. I know both my 2003 duramax and 1995 6.5 turbo have less (almost none) odor on the new-spec highway diesel! NOTE - DO NOT TRY DIESEL IN YOUR GRAVITY TYPE (WICKED) KEROSENE HEATER. I am talking about my forced-draft jet heater, which is designed to be tolerant of these different fuels.
