Most Oil Central Heating runs on 28 second fuel oil. This is not the same as red diesel as this shows (from the Web)

FUEL OILS We supply the following Jet fuel oils in bulk by road tanker (500 litre minimum order) or in 205 litre barrels.

• Kerosene
  Sometimes referred to as 28 second, burning oil, central heating oil (although, as some other oils may be used in central heating systems, this is not a strictly accurate term)

• Gas Oil
  Sometimes referred to as red diesel, tractor diesel, 35 second

• Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel
  Sometimes referred to as ULSD, road diesel, derv, white diesel

TBH I suggest you buy on a credit card, ringing the suppliers in your area tomorrow from yellow pages (yell.com) and comparing prices. Its not easy as price has doubled in last year. Apparently you can buy in 205 litre drums which you could put in tank yourself. But if you have run right out you will need to bleed the system until air is not coming through pump. Not difficult but scary first time.

Sorry but you are in a bit of a cleft stick. Best of luck.
