What is the difference between Petrol Diesel Kerosene and gasoline?

"Petrol" is what the British (and Australians, Irish and New Zealanders) call gasoline. Petrol is actually a contraction of the word petroleum which is the feedstock. So there's no difference between petrol and gasoline. Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel are different "fractions" of petroleum distillate. Gasoline is the lowest-boiling/most volatile of the three, kerosene is intermediate, and diesel is the highest-boiling/least volatile. Jet fuel is actually Jet Kerosene. The Britsih usually call kerosene "paraffin". In the US, paraffin is an even higher fraction of petroleum distillate that is solid at room temperature and is generally referred to as "wax".

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!

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.
