Home heating oil MAY OR MAY NOT meet diesel specs for sulfur,
contaminants and cetane. I would never burn it in a common rail engine
but in a Bosch pump engine I might-if the delta in fuel prices would
pay for a rebuilt pump and injectors in a reasonable amount of time.
And I would certainly install a better than stock fuel filter and a
gascolator at the low point in the system.
Certain diesels will burn an amazing number of odd and foul oils if
they are free of water and particulates. You cannot filter water-you
must separate it via gravity. There are dyes that dye water but not oil
(or vice versa) and you can put your fuel in a tank, the dye, and more
water, then agitate and let sit and drain either all the colored fluid
or all the clear.

From the site listed:
>>The operation of the Turbine Car is much the same as that of a car with a piston engine and an automatic transmission. To start it, place the transmission shift lever in the "Idle" location and push down to engage the "Park/Start" position. Turn the ignition key to the right and release it. Starting is automatic. Within a few seconds, the inlet temperature and tachometer gauges on the instrument panel will read about 1700 F and 18, 000 rpm, respectively, indicating that the engine is started.
The present performance and economy of the Turbine are comparable to a
conventional car with a standard V-8 engine. The engine will operate
satisfactorily on diesel fuel, kerosene, unleaded gasoline, JP-4 (jet
fuel), and mixtures thereof. And, even more interesting, it is possible
to change from one of these fuels to another without any changes or
adjustments to the engine. The users of the cars also will appreciate
the many other advantages of the turbine engine.
The cars were built at Chrysler Corporation's Engineering Research
Laboratories in Detroit. At the assembly area, the Chrysler-designed
car bodies, which are built by Ghia of Italy, were lowered onto the new
engines and chassis components. The turbine engines were built and
tested at Chrysler's Research Laboratories.<<
