We do it in the winter. It may be illegal as you do not pay road tax on kerosene.
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!

If we dissolve kerosene in petrol running vehicle the petrol filtrer in the car will be damaged and also the pump.
What is the Mix Ratio for MC 70 prime coat Diesel to bitumen?
Diesel and kerosene are quite close chemically. Kerosene has some heavier paraffins and would clog the injectors of a diesel engine.
Mix diesel in a gasoline engine and it will stall or run very poorly depending on how much you mixed in. Mix gasoline in a diesel engine and you will have engine damage.
Kerosene is a type of Fuel. Diesel, named after the inventor, a type of internal combustion engine. true- No.2 Diesel Fuel is Kerosene- or JP-4 popularily used as an airplane fuel for jets.
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.
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.
BOOMThe above answer is wrongWhat you get is a flammable liquid that can not be used in diesel engines or kerosene lamps or heaters. This is called contamination.I recommend you poor the concoction into a waste oil collection drum.
No.
Diesel is a different grade of kerosene and will work. You may need to change the nozzle so it burns clean.
