thats heavy fuel oil not lubricating oil I used to service the heaters they used to keep this stuff at a consistency where it can be pumped in winter ( in winter it is almost like grease). they call this a diesel as it uses compression ignition but it doesn't use diesel fuel as we know it it uses this heave fuel oil
