Can my friend burn heating oil in car instead of derv i say no wiil it harm engine?
You mean diesel. DERV = diesel engined road vehicle. Heating oil is just diesel with some colour and less tax. Read the middle section of this page. I won’t bother pasting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_oil Also the last section of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel Bottom line, he can (and people often do) run his car on red diesel aka heating oil just fine. He better not get caught though… Edit: Farmers run their agricultural vehicles on red diesel – they are allowed to. They buy it in bulk and run their heating, tractors, combine harversters etc. They often run their cars and 4x4s on it too, naughty devils!
