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.

Is K1 kerosene the same as 1 heating oil and can K1 be used in a heating oil stove?

Kerosene and heating oil are not the same. Make sure you use clear kerosene if you aren't venting out of a chimney - for example a space heater. Regular kerosene has a red dye that can be toxic

Can kerosene be used in a diesel truck for fuel?

Long-winded answer... There are two kinds of fuel oils: No. 1 and No. 2. No. 1 fuel oil is thinner so it flows easier in cold weather, but it doesn't lubricate as well. We used to call this "winter diesel." Kerosene is No. 1 fuel oil that's gone through an extra refining step because a lot of the things people use it for--kerosun heaters, for instance--you don't want impure fuel stinking up the place. But basically, you can put K1 kerosene, No. 1 heating oil, No. 1 diesel or any No. 1 fuel oil in a diesel engine interchangeably. Most guys who do it will add some No. 2 diesel or some lubricating oil to it to keep their fuel injection systems in good shape. It's also untaxed, so don't run it on the road. Theoretically you could use it as reefer fuel if you put some oil in it, but you wouldn't--you'd just use diesel.


What is D1 and D2 winter blend mix for biodiesel fuel?

Winter blend mix like a cocktail: Biodiesel is thought of as the 'alcohol'. X is a percentage of biodiesel, to give B(x). For example, B20 is 20% biodiesel, the other 80% is ULSD or kerosene, usually. B99 is practically straight biodiesel. Not so good for winter weather as waxes form 'clouds' in the fuel if it's greater than B50 (half biodiesel) D1 is road use approved kerosene (K1 clear). D2 is ULSD, or ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. Kerosene is a more refined D2, so it is referred to as D1.
