Recently, there was a thread about putting fuel oil in a tractor. Got the reverse question in a way...
My garage in town has a old fuel oil furnace. Its gotten to be a problem to get this filled (big hassle...). I was looking to get rid of it this summer and put in a propane ceiling mounted heater but found out the local rules on where the tank goes were not favorable for my lot. It could not go next to the garage where the oil tank currently is. Locations of lot lines and other buildings (me or neighbors) mean it ends up a eyesore in the front yard.
So, scratch that.... Maybe go with off peak electric like the house uses but I didn't have time to work that this summer.
So, looking to run that oil furnace another winter.
I brought back 2 30gal oil drums from the farm along with a hand transfer pump. The plan was to just get some road diesel from the C store and put that in the furnace tank.
I see that the C store nearby sells biodiesel per their website. Reading about that seems could be a bad deal in this old furnace. Leaks or clogs up the filter....
Thoughts? Any farm related stations that probably have normal diesel are a good 10-15mile trip so I would need to do a much better job of securing those drums in the trailer. Not to mention more driving that I would want to....

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
