Most likely a fuel leak under the hood.
If the fuse that controls the PCM relay for the fuel heater on a 1999 diesel keeps burning out, perhaps there is a short somewhere in the wiring. There is also a possibility that the ground wire for the fuel heater is no longer attached to the frame.

Diesel and Kerosene are extremely similar.In fact Kerosene is often called #1 Fuel Oil and Diesel is called #2 Fuel Oil.Diesel should burn fine in a kerosene heater, unless you are trying to light it in very cold weather.
No, it is not safe to burn diesel in a paraffin greenhouse heater. Diesel burns at a higher temperature compared to paraffin, which can cause damage to the heater and pose a fire hazard. It is important to use the correct fuel for your specific heater to ensure safe and efficient operation.
This fuse is for the auxiliary fuel fired heater fitted to diesel models. The diesel engine does not warm up quickly in cold conditions and an auxiliary heater is used to burn a small amount of fuel to provide some heating to the cabin whilst the engine warms up.
If you are referring to a kerosene space heater, it can be used with diesel fuel, but it ill give off a very strong odor, and the wick will become clogged much faster. If you are referring to a house furnace fuel tank, then yes. The fuel found in most home "oil" furnaces is the exact same thing as off-road diesel.
what would it cost to fix a leak in a 7.3l fuel heater
You may be refering to the glow plugs. They help the engine turn on.
Typically cars either burn gasoline or diesel fuel if the engines are equipped to burn that. Kerosene is normally not used in a diesel but it will function in an emergency just as well as diesel fuel except that the injection parts will not receive much lubrication. But it will get you home in a pinch. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a wick type kerosene heater then no. Diesel fuel will smoke and stink compared to kerosene. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a kerosene heater that is like a salamander, then maybe. I use #2 diesel in my salamander and it works fine and heats my garage up ok. Kerosene does burn cleaner though.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
