I have been using it in my furnace for three winters. it can be used anywhere you can use number 2 fuel oil. if the heater needs kerosene it will not work. Do not use straight vegetable oil in your furnace. It will clog the nozzle in a few hours. Treat the oil with lye and methanol to make it into biodiesel. Your furnace will run cleaner and more efficiently than with petroleum fuel.

Do NOT use biodiesel in a kerosene heater. Kero is lighter than fuel oil. If you want to burn veggie oil in a hurricane lantern, that might work.
biodiesel in a regular oil furnace should be OK. But I would ask the furnace manufacturer, and keep many spare filters on hand.
