Kerosene and mineral spirits are similar in that they are both petroleum-derived solvents commonly used for cleaning, thinning paints, and as fuel. However, they have different chemical compositions and properties, with mineral spirits generally having a higher volatility and better solvency for paints and coatings compared to kerosene.

Why does wood does not increase increased in size when soaked in kerosene?
Wood does not increase in size when soaked in kerosene because kerosene is a non-polar solvent that does not interact with the polar molecules in wood's cellulose and lignin structure. Unlike water, which can swell wood by penetrating its cell walls and forming hydrogen bonds, kerosene does not have the same affinity for wood fibers. As a result, the wood remains stable in size when exposed to kerosene.
What is the same as mineral spirits in terms of solvent options for cleaning and thinning paint?
The same as mineral spirits for cleaning and thinning paint is turpentine.

Are mineral spirits and paint thinner the same?
Mineral spirits and paint thinner are similar, but not exactly the same. Both are solvents used to thin paint and clean tools, but mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner that is less refined and has a stronger odor compared to other paint thinners.
How do you remove road tar from bottom of a tire?
I just had the same problem. I used mineral spirits on an old cloth and a putty knife to scrape off the tar. It worked great! The tar will dissolve with the mineral spirits.
Is mineral oil the same as mineral turpentine?
No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances. All of the above except mineral oil are toxic if one drinks them. Turpentine is the only one that is not a petroleum distillate. Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.

Is Stoddard solvent the same as kerosene?
I have just been trying to find out just what Stoddard solvent is. I can say for sure that it is not kerosene. Some American sites call it paint thinner, turpentine, spirits of turpentine or mineral spirits. I don't believe that it is either of the first three. In Australia we have a product called mineral turpentine (turps) which is used to wash brushes and thin oil based paints but turps is not the same as what we call paint thinners which is the stuff typically used by spray painters using nitro-cellulose or acrylic lacquers. I have also established that Stoddards smells similar to kerosene and is used to thin household paint. It seems that the exact composition may vary a bit and may include proprietary perfumes but is mostly what we here in Oz call white spirit or dry cleaning fluid . I can't say I've ever heard of thinning paint with white spirit but that's my best guess at this stage.

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!
