Dad ran one in his shop for nearly 10 years, and it will burn anything that is compatible with other oils.
In other words, as long as it's all being poured into a large tank, and mixing, it's not going to be an issue.
The only problems we ever had was antifreeze getting in the mix from oil obtained from other people. We all but eliminated that problem by putting the oil a settling tank first, and then transferring it to the larger tank after draining off any contaminates.
Other than occasional maintenance, we never had an issue. The furnace is now in my shop, being readied for next winter. I hope I have the same luck.
One thing to keep in kind if you have one and don't use it all the time. Many of them have heaters in the intake to warm the incoming oil. Depending on the wiring, those heaters will stay on to insure the oil is warm when the furnace comes on. So, if you aren't going to run the furnace for any length of time, insure you have a way to turn things off completely. It might take a bit of warm up before things are optimal but it will prevent the oil in the pre-heat block from getting hot enough to gum up the works.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
