What I always did was unhooked the line from the tank right under the filter and then slowly put kerosene in the line until all the air bubbles came out. Then I put it all back together and opened the valve at the tank back up. Then I would press the primer button on the monitor three times. It would start back up and work great after that
I am out of oil with a delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I went out to the shed to get a 5 gallon can and found a 5 gallon kerosene can filled. I have no smell therefore can not tell if the clear liquid is kerosene or gasoline. I hate to throw it away if it is kerosene, I could burn it in the heater
Yes However some consider uranium as a fossil fuel for being extracted through mining and in the mean time they consider nuclear energy (using uranium as its fuel) is rebewable energy source for the possibility of producing more fuel (through breeders) than the consumed fissile fuel.
The jet fuel is a special type of kerosene; and kerosene is a product of petrochemical industry, having a complex composition of organic compounds.See also this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel.
The Boeing 757 is typically powered by jet fuel, specifically Jet A or Jet A-1. These fuels are kerosene-based and are designed for use in commercial jet engines due to their high energy content and stability at high altitudes.
yes
It is not recommended to burn camp fuel in a kerosene heater as they have different compositions and may lead to improper combustion, emitting harmful gases. Using the appropriate fuel for your specific heater is important for safety and efficiency.
If your kerosene heater has a wicker which will carry the fuel additive (kerosene or oil) up towards the flame then you may put oil. However, if the heater works on hydrocaron compression-combustion priciple, then oil may not work as a fuel additive
Diesel and Kerosene are extremely similar.In fact Kerosene is often called #1 Fuel Oil and Diesel is called #2 Fuel Oil.Diesel should burn fine in a kerosene heater, unless you are trying to light it in very cold weather.
A photocell in a kerosene heater works by using light to generate an electrical current. The photocell detects the flame produced by the heater and triggers the fuel pump to continue supplying kerosene. If the flame goes out, the photocell senses the absence of light and shuts off the fuel supply to prevent dangerous fuel leaks or build-up.
We used to when I was in the RAF in the 70's.
It uses coleman fuel or WHITE gas. Kerosene is essentially white gas.

"Jogging the burner" on a kerosene heater refers to briefly turning off the burner to allow excess fuel to burn off, which can help prevent a buildup of soot and maintain efficient combustion. It also ensures that the heater is operating safely and effectively.
Jet fuel is a type of kerosene. Essentially it is kerosene which has been highly purified and had a few additives added to prevent or mitigate water contamination.Kerosene will burn just fine in a jet engine, and jet A will burn just fine in a kerosene heater.
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.
It depends upon the brand or model of heater. As a general rule, most salamanders or heaters can use either. You just have to try it and see. If it doesn't work and smokes a lot, you drain it out and resort to kerosene again.
