I would really like to take some of these guys under a fuel loading rack so they see the products that come through one loading arm. The difference between fuel oil and diesel is about the same as the difference of a gallon of milk in a Borden carton as compared to a gallon of milk in a Wal-Mart carton. It is still a gallon of milk. Came out the same cow. Some may be using a different fuel oil than the diesel in their tractor but the difference is the diesel is #2 and the fuel oil is sometimes #1. They use a lot of #1 or mixed #2 and #1 for fuel oil so it does not gel. #2 fuel oil and #2 diesel come out of the same loading arm. The only difference is the label and the price. The place you are buying from may be selling #2 diesel and #1 fuel oil. That is why the fuel oil cost more. Using #2 is ok but it may gel if it gets real cold. To answer some of the questions below. Off road diesel can or MAY have a higher sulpher content. Low sulpher diesel can be used for on road (green) or off road (red) diesel. BUT High sulpher diesel can only be used off road and MUST be dyed red.
