Default Diesel Quality Varies....(?)

Filled up my 5 gal jug for my kerosene heater at a Texaco
station. Texaco is now Shell, as you know, so the remaining
Texacos are buying whatever slop fuel they want. The heater
BTU output was way reduced with this fuel, and the
combustion chamber was just a dull red, instead of the
normal cherry red. I ran that tank out, and got some diesel
from 76. The heater returned to it's former toasty self. I
never tanked up my '79 diesel Rabbit there, so I don't know
how it would have performed with that fuel(probably ****ty).
