What else can I help you with?
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!

What kind of fuel do jet cars use?
High octane kerosene
What fuel does a helicopter use?
Reciprocating engines: 100 octane low lead (100LL) Turbine engines: Jet A, basically kerosene.
What gas has a plane got?
Aeroplanes use aviation gasoline (high octane leaded gasoline), Jet A or Jet B (essentially low sulfur kerosene)
What is the octane of jet fuel?
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....
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.
Does mixing kerosene with fuel in an octane engine produce a better output if so will it damage the engine?
your car will become a rocket but only for a while because the engine will probably brake.
What would happen if you put jet fuelin a gas engin?
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.
What is the octane of airplane fuel?
Airplane fuel typically refers to aviation gasoline (avgas) or jet fuel. Aviation gasoline, commonly used in piston-engine aircraft, usually has an octane rating between 100 and 130, with the most common type being 100LL (low lead), which has an octane rating of 100. Jet fuel, such as Jet A or Jet A-1, does not have an octane rating because it is a kerosene-based fuel used in turbine engines, which operate differently than piston engines.
Name of fuel used in Airplanes?
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
Which type of fuel is used for airplanes?
Either low lead aviation petrol, or kerosene-based jet fuel.On piston powered aircraft you have gasoline AVGAS with different amounts of lead and octane ratings for example 100 or 100LL. On jets you have kerosene with different additives and manufacturing methods like Jet-A, Jet-B, JP-8 to name a few.
How many type of fuel?
Basically there are 2 types of aviation fuel; gasoline and kerosene. Within those 2 types are numerous sub types ie; 80/87 octane, 100 LL, Jet A, JP 4.
