Diesel fuel, home heating oil, kerosene, and jet aircraft fuel are all similar. There are slight differences made in the formulation at the refinery so the resulting product will work best for that particular application and filtering to remove impurities/crud especially important for diesel and jet fuel. In a pinch, they are inter-changeable - for how long, who knows especially using kerosene or home heating fuel to replace diesel and jet fuel.

My $0.02 worth.
