* 19.4 gallons (73 liters) of gas,
* 10.5 gallons (40 liters) of diesel, and
* 4.1 gallons (16 liters) of jet fuel (kerosene), not to mention lots of other marketable stuff. ---- Every 42-US-gallon barrel of crude provides a little more than 44 gallons of petroleum products. This is gained due to processing of crude. From one barrel we get (in gallons): * 7.27 gallons (27.5 liters): Other products (feedstocks for petrochemical plants, asphalt, bitumen, tar, etc.) * 1.72 gallons (6.5 liters): Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) * 3.82 gallons (14.5 liters): Jet Fuel (kerosene) * 1.76 gallons (6.6 liters): Heavy Fuel Oil (Residual) * 1.75 gallons (6.6 liters): Other Distillates (Heating Oil) * 9.21 gallons (35 liters): Diesel * 19.15 gallons (72.5 liters): Gasoline From petrochemical feedstocks many everyday-life products are then obtained.

Can diesel or biodiesel be used in kerosene space heaters?
Yes! Diesel, kerosene and gasoline are really the same thing except that they have different octanes. Diesel is the lowest refined gas then kerosene then your different octanes of gas. So, to make the octane the same as kerosene you simply mix the right amount of gas with diesel and voila, you have kerosene. I think u can use a lower octane than kerosene but NEVER put anything of a higher octane than kerosene! Yes!
