Yes, yellow color is intended for diesel. I use mine for diesel and need to get another.

Yes, that is what it is designed for as indicated by the yellow color. Yellow designates diesel, red designates gasoline and blue designates kerosene.

Not legally, Tank is labeled for combustible not flammable. Meaning diesel not gasoline

Diesel fuel can be used but it will have an odor, especially if in an enclosed space. Outdoors, may be able to stand the odor. would suggest making a deal with local airport to use Jet-A. This is an extremely good quality kerosene. I run Jet-A without PRST (additive to prevent algae growth and jelling at altitude) in the 3 heaters I have like this one.

I only use it in gasoline engines but would not hesitate to use it in a diesel.. if engine is new make sure you use regular oil until first oil change.

I believe you need higher quality diesel fuel. The guage on the fuel is cheap plastic and broke within the firt two times using. Now the fuel leaks when you move it. My opinion this is junk. I wish you read my review before buying. The thermometer guages heat immediately around unit, without fan in back unit turns off and on way too often. Unit should have a choice of 25,000 50,000 or 75,000 btu's. I should have bought used at garage sale. J.W.

I don't think it would work with oil. The instructions say to use with gasoline only. Not intended for use with diesel. So if you couldn't pump diesel, then I would think oil is out of the question. Just my .02

I would not use this with fuel. The product is top notch for many other projects.

I used it for gasoline storage and it works great. Google it and see if it approved for diesel fuel storage.

We use it for diesel. Can't imagine why it would not. The plastic tubing should be replaced with a petroleum resistant tube. We changed the original early on. The tank works great.

Hi Mack, the answer is yes. Check this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTaGTAAGA8g. I have a extra 5 gallon container that has not been used. If you are interested. I can sell to you for half the retail price.

Yes, buoyancy of the float remain the same at different fuel rates. Internal electronics are safe with diesel also.

k-1 is the only fuel I would recommend.diesel leaves heavy fumes and taste in your mouth,plus must be started outside when the fuel is cold.i use mine all winter long.

I use it for diesel but there should be no reason why you couldn't use it for Gasoline.

Absolutely! The only catch might be conditions that are below freezing where diesel fuel gels over. So this disclaimer: "Do not use with diesel fuel in Alaska, or Artic regions;" or, ...... "When temperature nears freezing, proceed to a warmer climate immediately."

Newer diesels require filtering in the micron range. I would not recommend this filter for that.

Yes, you can use diesel, however the manufacturer recommends using Kerosene 1. It can shorten the lifespan of the product and requires much more maintenance.
