Can a diesel car run on Heating Oil?

[3doorPete]

My oil fired central heating is being replaced with gas next week. I have 200 litres of heating oil left though.

Can I fill up my wife's Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0HDI with the oil and will it run ok or cause any damage?? Looks and smells like diesel!

Thanks for the feedback - Think I'll leave it then - purely as I don't want any fuel rail/fuel pump issues. I know they run at big pressures and were my main worry over pouring it into an old skool diesel.

Citroen Picasso HDI's are ok really - they're cheap to buy second hand, economical and relatively safe. Fine for the wife and sprogs.
