Fuel oil is a term that describes both heating oil and diesel fuel.
There is a differance between them legaly. Heating oil has NO Cetane or Ash standards. The cloud point and pour point are also differant between the two.

Basically diesel fuel is heating oil refined to tighter guidlines and with extra additives.
While I would not use heating oil full time in a diesel motor a small amount mixed into a tank is not going to hurt anything.
