No worries about scaring me
I'm a mature, thoughtful, educated, conservative, thinker and have figured out which statements are chaff and which are the heart.

Don't for a minute think #1 diesel is "like lower octane fuel" compared to #2 or one is better or more refined than the other. It doesn't have less lubricity. I will not harm fuel systems. It will not harm an engine if driven hard. It does not burn way faster.

Diesel fuel is diesel fuel, whether #1 or #2. Both are refined and sold by oil companies for use in diesel fueled engines. If there were issues with running #1, they wouldn't sell it. #1 is better for winter at the SLIGHT expense of performance. THAT'S IT.
