Shop oil stove

I'm not sure where to post this, but I will try this forum. I heat my shop with an old Sharp oil stove that has a flooded pot controlled by a flow valve. It works great, but since it requires #1 stove oil (kerosene) and the local price on kerosene is now about $8.00 a gallon I can no longer afford to use it. I would like to try to make it run of diesel. Is this possible? I don't want it to get out of control and burn my shop down. If anyone knows, please post an answer.

$8 a gallon. :shocked: Do you get the kerosene in bulk or do you buy it in small quantities?
