I have this thing called a “furnace” that heats my home using no. 2 home heating oil (more or less: diesel).

How is a diesel heater different than my furnace? Why can’t you run one in your garage?

Your furnace has a chimney going to the roof. If the diesel heater was part of the car that presumably wouldn't be possible, so you wouldn't be able to use it in a garage.

Got it. Thank you kindly. Wasn't thinking of it that way.
