What I always did was unhooked the line from the tank right under the filter and then slowly put kerosene in the line until all the air bubbles came out. Then I put it all back together and opened the valve at the tank back up. Then I would press the primer button on the monitor three times. It would start back up and work great after that
I am out of oil with a delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I went out to the shed to get a 5 gallon can and found a 5 gallon kerosene can filled. I have no smell therefore can not tell if the clear liquid is kerosene or gasoline. I hate to throw it away if it is kerosene, I could burn it in the heater
Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, airplane fuel and motor oil.
The jet fuel is a special type of kerosene; and kerosene is a product of petrochemical industry, having a complex composition of organic compounds.See also this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel.
NYCCT student? Approximatelly: Gasoline = 133 billion barrel Diesel = 64 billion barrel Kerosene (aircraft fuel) = 17 billion barrel
Jet fuel is essentially kerosene, also known as paraffin. It is a product of crude oil and is a carbon fuel and most of it is also a fossil fuel although a small amount is made from biomass.
If your kerosene heater has a wicker which will carry the fuel additive (kerosene or oil) up towards the flame then you may put oil. However, if the heater works on hydrocaron compression-combustion priciple, then oil may not work as a fuel additive
Diesel and Kerosene are extremely similar.In fact Kerosene is often called #1 Fuel Oil and Diesel is called #2 Fuel Oil.Diesel should burn fine in a kerosene heater, unless you are trying to light it in very cold weather.
We used to when I was in the RAF in the 70's.
It uses coleman fuel or WHITE gas. Kerosene is essentially white gas.

Fossil fuel is kerosene. Of kerosene oil condensate.

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.
Jet fuel is a type of kerosene. Essentially it is kerosene which has been highly purified and had a few additives added to prevent or mitigate water contamination.Kerosene will burn just fine in a jet engine, and jet A will burn just fine in a kerosene heater.
Yes, kerosene has a very big effect on the environment. Even though it is less combustible then petrolium it still has a negative impact as it a fossil fuel. HOPE THIS HELPED.
It depends upon the brand or model of heater. As a general rule, most salamanders or heaters can use either. You just have to try it and see. If it doesn't work and smokes a lot, you drain it out and resort to kerosene again.
ANSWER:Normal diesel fuel should not be burned in a kerosene heater, because there are many more contaminants in it, such as sulfur. A 100% solution of Biodiesel will not work because it requires a much higher initial temperature (300F) to burn cleanly. Blends of these fuels with kerosene can be burned, but there may be problems with the fuel soaking up the wick properly in the case of Biodiesel, which can lead to wick burning and sooting. There may also be problems lighting and burning properly if the blend contains too much of the Biodiesel, as its flash point is higher than kerosene. Diesel/Biodiesel fuel can also be run in many forced air heaters along with kerosene.
