Normally diesel, but as compression ignition engines (diesels) can run on a variety of oil based fuels (cooking fat, rapeseed oil) they are classed as heavy oil users. The government can't put diesel on the disc as you may not be using it.

Heavy oil is normally only used in industry most common is large ships. They use diesel in port or where shipping lanes are tight so to say where manuverability is a concer. Out on the open ocean they burn Heavy Oil.

my 1997 Chevrolet Blazer.?

I'm just guessing here but it is possible that the documents are referring to the engine oil that you put in the engine specifically the viscosity i.e. castrol 20-50 or BP 30 or whatever. I can't believe that a mechanic (20 years) would think it meant Deisel. I like bananas but even I didn't think deisel. Hope I am correct cos I would feel a right lemon if it turned out that you were stupid and it actually did mean deisel. Best of luck
