It does seem odd that a mere heater would be so fussy. Diesel engines for instance were originally designed to run on vegetable oil, and indeed my old van was more than happy to run on peanut oil, sunflower oil or whatever (common rail overpressure prevents use in current van)
Provided the glow plug can evaporate it at start up, clean dry fuel should work a heater, though extreme varnish contamination might build up unburnt residues in the combustion chamber or clog the pump.
The OP however has been robbed by the mendacious. An old story
