I was actually going to tell him he already has an oil burner, just start it on kero and switch to a mix, the heater won't care, you will have more sulphur like the old high sulphur diesel however a little rock and soil can clean any sulphur out of exhaust and turn it into fertilizer.
Also If your truck was not an 07 you could add a little as top end lubricant (summer only) (1%ish or less) It would actually increase the lifespan of your motor as it did with my 82. This same concept works on cars as well, top end lube is not a bad thing for motor wear, especially on older cars, but a little goes a long way. Best to filter the stuff first though but if you take the time to filter it you might as well reuse the stuff.
The problem with new motors is that the pollution control turns high sulphur fuels into sulphuric acid which destroys your motor (not your injectors mind you) and pits the whole thing into a pile of crapola. Your injectors would still be just fine though the rest of your motor would have little compression and make a lot of noise.
