Same as #2 diesel from the pump, just without the dye and taxes.
That and they deliver.

Not true. Heating oil is not tested for cetane, it may or may not be 40 or above. Heating oil also has no lubricity spec. It may or may not lubricate as well as diesel. Diesel meets all of the specs for heating oil but not the other way around.

It may run just fine in an old MB, but it is not the same thing.
