Is home heating oil the same as diesel?

Diesel, as sold at many gas stations, is an acceptable replacement for home heating oil in virtually all furnaces. Both diesel and heating oil No. 2 are midlevel or midweight distillations of petroleum that produce roughly the same amount of heat and can be burned by the same systems.

Why is it called 28 second oil?

Kerosene is also known as Home Heating Oil (HHO), and 28-second Heating Oil. It is known as 28-second Heating Oil because its viscosity is such that a measured amount passes through a measured hole in 28 seconds (or less).
