It has no octane rating.
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!

High octane kerosene
Reciprocating engines: 100 octane low lead (100LL) Turbine engines: Jet A, basically kerosene.
Aeroplanes use aviation gasoline (high octane leaded gasoline), Jet A or Jet B (essentially low sulfur kerosene)
Jet fuel is kerosene, about the same stuff as diesel. Octane is a number that measures anti-knock properties of fuels. Diesels knock--that's how they work. Jets don't have enough compression to knock. Jet and diesel fuels would measure typically 15-25 "octane anti-knock". Sort of....
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.
your car will become a rocket but only for a while because the engine will probably brake.
Jet fuel is kerosene. It is not volatile and has a very low octane rating (about 60). On straight kerosene, the engine would not start. On mixed kerosene it would knock like crazy, stink, and foul the plugs. Some old tractors with heated intake manifolds could be started on gasoline, then switched to a second tank of kerosene once they warmed up. This was done because kerosene was cheaper, but many people still didn't use it because of the problems it caused.
That depends on the type of aircraft really, Jet aircraft use a de ionised form of kerosene called Jet A1, Piston aircraft use a high octane petrolium, similar to that you would put in your car, only the aerospace grade petrol is much higher quallity and octane
absolutely....you can mix any octane with any other octane
kerosene and air
There is no octane in gasoline... it is the equivalent of octane.
