Default Diesel engine smoke

We're looking at a 1984 Chien Hwa trawler with a 135 Hp Perkins diesel
with 2200 hours.
The diesel smokes a bit. The seller said the reason it smokes is
because he's burning home heating oil instead of diesel fuel.
Will using home heating oil cause the smoke? Also is there any harm in
using heating oil instead of diesel?
Thanks for any info.
Mike
