I have two 275 gallon tanks in the garage that I use for the furnace and have an electric fuel transfer pump on one to fuel my tractor. It is #2 heating fuel. I use nothing but home heating oil in my tractor.
(Please, Lets not rekindle the debate about difference between diesel and heating fuel)
My question is, can I treat the 275 gallons with PowerService without any problem with my warm air furnace burner?

I don't have the answer but great question! I've wondered the same thing but never asked.

I have two 275 gallon tanks and use #2 home heating fuel. One tank is in the basement, the other is outside. There is a gravity feed line with shutoff valves to feed the basement tank from the outside tank. I use PowerService in the outside tank as an option to help prevent gelling. I've had no problems running PS in my furnace fuel. In my area home heating fuel is #2 diesel with dye added.

No problems at all, may even be better as it is basically an additive.
