No, alcohol is not good for fuel systems... but it's less bad than ice. I tend to laugh at those who tell me that and then proceed to dump a pile of additive like Power Service in their tanks tho... as if they weren't adding a bunch of alcohol. It sounds like your fuel dealers are doing the same thing as here... While furnace oil and diesel are technically two different products with the same #2 base stock fuel, the additive packages are different....the practice here for some number of years now is simply to sell diesel in place of furnace oil, supposedly because they don't want to stock two different products at the bulk plant.
Anyone that studied a bit of ancient history of how the oil industry developed should know that Kerosene is a vastly different product from #1 oil... What they also do here is cut #2 oil with kerosene to make a lighter product for winter use but it's not the same as #1 oil and it doesn't burn the same.... Kerosene is a difficult product to mix with #2 and unless it's done correctly it doesn't mix... so you just have two layers of two different products in the tank...

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
