One concern of running #2 diesel is the gel point - if you are in a cold shop like here in MN below zero, the diesel will be gelled up in your heater.

The other concern is that #2 burns dirtier, generally you will have a pretty smelly deal. Fine for thawing something out, but if you are working 5-6 hours a day in there it kinda might build up on a person, long term?

Some brands handle it better than others, just depends I guess.

I have one of those dish heaters val6, cost more but throw infrared heat, not just hot air, very clean burning on #2 diesel, has a heater on the filter to keep #2 flowing.
