Can you add kerosene to your home heating oil tank to help clean out the sludge?

I just had a service technician clean my burner in preparation for the winter. I showed him a product I had purchased at Home Depot called Hercules fuel oil sludge treat. It comes in a one quart container and you put a pint in for a 275 gallon tank just before a delivery. The technician said you would be better off adding one gallon of kerosene prior to the delivery. The kerosene burns hotter and is a higher grade of fuel than home heating oil. He said it would probably do a better job than the sludge treatment product and costs less.

Can Kerosene be added to diesel as it is clear as water Can It be added it to diesel truck at fill up meaning one gal Kerosene plus twenty Gal diesel fuel to help clean the injectors?
Check the related links. It appears Kerosene can be safely added to diesel. In fact, Kerosene is often used to "de-gel" the Diesel fuel in those cold winter months. Note: Many of the "Gas" (of "Fuel") Treatment bottles on the auto-parts store shelves contain "Kerosene" - most advertise as such "Contains Jet Fuel!" or some such....but truly it's marketing hype. To further expand on this, no, I wouldn't suggest adding straight kerosene to your diesel fuel....instead, go to an auto-parts store, and find a Fuel Treatment safe for Diesel Fuel/Engines. Or, optionally, look up "Sea Foam" - it's an engine oil, intake cleaner, and fuel stabilizer, works for Gasoline and Diesel engines...since you are wanting to clean Fuel Injectors, I _think_ this may be the answer to your question.

What are some problems common with central heating systems?
Air may get trapped in a radiator, leaving it cold at the top whilst it is warm at the bottom. It then needs 'bleeding'. Radiators may also have the opposite problem, where they are warm at the top yet cold at the bottom. This is caused by a build up of sludge in the radiator and will probably require professional help. Sometimes the downstairs radiators stop heating up, whilst the upstairs ones are fine. This is caused by a problem with the pump and will again require professional help.
