Please pardon my ignorance, but I always thought that #2 fuel oil /is/
diesel fuel without the road tax. Am I wrong?


Diesel fuel these days is 'ultra low' in sulfur...15 ppm, max. I think
regular fuel oil is much higher in sulfur. There may also be other
additives in diesel fuel but I'm not sure what. 'Off road' diesel is
colored red and is not subject to road taxes so it's cheaper but you'd
better not be caught with it in an over-the-road vehicle or face some
pretty stiff fines. I'd think it would be legal in a generator.
