Heating oil tank suitable for red diesel?

I've been watching marketplace on twatbook for a slimline tank for diesel storage.
I managed to find 1 local for the right money, but when I checked the manufacturer's website, it said it wasnt suitable for refuelling use.
Is there a flow restrictor formed into some tanks or is it the manufacturer just being cautious.
Any help appreciated.

Shouldn’t do as there should be a breather built in. Whenever I instal tanks they never specify wether it’s Kero or diesel. The only issue would be filing speed as a kero tank will most probably be 1/2” outlet, tractor fuel tanks normally 1” outlet minimum
