I have heard that you can use heater oil in a diesel engine with a little 2
stroke added, does anyone have any history of this such as possible engine
damage?

Could be for a boat or agricultural vehicle....Doubt it, but it could be.
How does Kerosine compare to red diesel in price?

Many years ago, I ran a large agricultiral spark ignition engine on
kerosene, to replace the obsolete TVO it was designed to run on.
Engine was "duel fuel" in that it started on petrol, then switched to
kerosene. Had to be switched back to petrol before it was stopped, or it
wouldn't restart again when cooled off.
The only modification to the engine was a combined inlet/exhaust
manifold, designed to transfer heat to the incoming fuel.

much the same.

You can run diesel engines on C2 grade kerosene, but the chances are that
you knacker the injection pump as the fuel will not have the right
lubricants.

in the case of petrol engines converted to TVO, they usually had a
decompression plate fitted.
