No. 2 diesel fuel is the same as home heating oil (but more expensive because it's taxed differently). The dye in it is safe for furnaces...plus there's no 100-gallon minimum order. Just take a gas can to the gas station (yes, I know the logistics are hell--gas can, gas station, but the option is there).
