Kerosene is a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 150 0C and 250 0C.

Naphtha is also a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 50 0C and

200 0C. But the chemical composition of naphtha and kerosene are not totally identical.

What is the equivalent of naphtha?

Naphtha is a general term for a range of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixtures. It is commonly used as a solvent, fuel, or a feedstock in the petrochemical industry. The equivalent of naphtha can vary depending on the specific application, but it is often compared to products like gasoline, kerosene, or other light distillates derived from crude oil. In some contexts, it may also refer to certain grades of petroleum spirits or mineral spirits used in industrial applications.


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!
