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 else can I help you with?
Is kerosene the same as diesel?
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.
What type of fuel can be used instead of diesel in some cars?
Only diesel should be used but in a pinch or emergency kerosene can be used. Diesel is usually number 2 fuel and kerosene is #1 fuel. By the way jet fuel is kerosene. So dont use it in a diesel to often, the higher octane rating could damage the engine over time.
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.
Can you use diesel in place of k1 kerosene?
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.
Why diesel is used in truck?
Because diesel is efficient fuel which decreases the stroke
You are a distilled product used for lightning warmth as a tractor fuel?
I could be alcohol, gasoline, diesel, kerosene...
How is crude oil used?
It is refined into various fractions, including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, heavy fuel oil
What are 3 useful substances when diesel is cracked?
Three useful substances produced when diesel is cracked are gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel. Gasoline is a high-demand fuel for cars, kerosene is used for heating and lighting, and diesel fuel is commonly used in transportation and industry.
Why is kerosene used for jet fuel?
Kerosene isn't. However, jet fuel, kerosene, and diesel fuel all are very similar. They're less refined than unleaded fuel, and that reduces the risk of on-board fires, for one. Additionally, they burn at a higher BTU rate than unleaded/petrol fuels.
What 'K' is a fuel used by planes?
kerosene (naptha kerosene)
Which fuel does Boeing 777 use?
The Boeing 777 uses an airplane grade of diesel similar to that of diesel trucks. Type #2 Kerosene is the diesel fuel used for the Boeing 777. The Boeing 777 has a higher fuel capacity and is more efficient at fuel consumption than earlier models like the 747.
What is the density of diesel oil?
The current Euro-V diesel product specification used by much of the world requires diesel to be between 0.820 kg/l and 0.845 kg/l at 15.6°C. This variation has to do with the amount of kerosene (jet-fuel) blended into diesel. In the winter more kerosene will be blended into diesel to ensure no cold properties (such as cold filter plug point (CFPP) and/or cloud point) are exceeded. In the summer less kerosene is blended into diesel because kerosene almost always sells for a higher price than diesel.
