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.

That depends. Cigarette or charcoal? cigarette lighter fluid is usually Naphtha. In some countries old kerosene is used for charcoal lighter. In the US, charcoal lighter fluid is usually Naphtha or a mix of Naphtha and kerosene. Some people use kerosene thinned with alcohol to make is easier to light and faster to burn. -Mark

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!
