Basically there are only two types of Fuel Oil.
#1 Diesel or Heater Oil
#2 Diesel or Furnace Oil Everything else is made from either a combination of these, and/or additive packages added. #2 gels because of the pariffin in it,but this is what also gives it some lubricating qualities,and higher btu. #1 is further refined and has the pariffin removed,so it will not smoke when used in heaters. This also gives it better cold weather properties,but a lower btu rating. Premium diesel has additive packages usually added to it. The best fuel to run in a tractor in the winter is a blend of #1 and #2. which is what most winter diesel is. The dye is for the road tax indentification. Some companies such as Shell have been adding additives for years to get around the low sulphur problems in their over the road diesel products.
