well yeh .they are both highly flammable and can explode easily when heated to much by the sun.a little spark from your generator could prove to be fatal. they also harm the earth and increases global warming

No, kerosene is not recommended to be mixed with asphalt. It can degrade the asphalt binder, affecting the overall performance and durability of the asphalt mixture. It is important to use recommended additives and mixtures for asphalt to maintain its quality.
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon extracted from petroleum through fractional distillation. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons with different number of carbon atoms(10-14). The boiling point RANGE of kerosene is 170-250 degrees Celsius.
Yes, they can be homogeneously mixed ('one layer' fluid) in each random ratio, but not with water.
Gasoline and diesel fuel are not easily miscible and do not mix together well. If mixed, the two fuels may separate due to their different densities and chemical compositions. It is not recommended to mix gasoline and diesel fuel as it can lead to engine performance issues and potential damage.
We do it in the winter. It may be illegal as you do not pay road tax on kerosene.
Yes, kerosene can be used in a diesel engine, but it should be mixed with diesel fuel in limited proportions to prevent engine damage. Pure kerosene lacks the lubricating properties of diesel, which can lead to increased wear on engine components. Diesel engines are designed to run on diesel fuel, so using it exclusively is recommended for optimal performance and longevity. Always consult your engine manufacturer’s guidelines before making any fuel modifications.
When diesel is mixed with kerosene, the resulting mixture will generally maintain a lower flash point than diesel alone, making it more flammable. The two fuels are compatible and can blend well, resulting in a fuel that might have slightly different combustion properties. However, using this mixture in engines not designed for it can lead to performance issues, increased emissions, or potential damage. It's important to consult manufacturer guidelines before using such mixtures in any equipment.

Mix diesel in a gasoline engine and it will stall or run very poorly depending on how much you mixed in. Mix gasoline in a diesel engine and you will have engine damage.
In small amounts diesel will not affect operation, but eventually as the mixture becomes more diesel than gas it will not burn in a gasoline car, and will damage a diesel vehicle. If you have mixed more than 5% diesel with your gas you should probably drain and start over to avoid damage.
No, acid does not react with kerosene as they are chemically inert to each other. Kerosene is a nonpolar solvent, while acids are polar compounds, and they do not undergo any chemical reaction when mixed together.
In small amounts diesel will not affect operation, but eventually as the mixture becomes more diesel than gas it will not burn in a gasoline car, and will damage a diesel vehicle. If you have mixed more than 5% diesel with your gas you should probably drain and start over to avoid damage.
Kerosene and home heating oil can be mixed in a oil furnace. Kerosene is thinner than heating oil. Mixed together will make the furnace burn cleaner.
Yes, kerosene and gas oil can technically be mixed, but it is not recommended for domestic heating systems in the UK — especially when efficiency, safety, and warranty protection matter. For most UK homes, boilers are specifically designed to run on 28-second kerosene (heating oil). Gas oil (35-second oil), commonly used for commercial or agricultural purposes, burns differently and can lead to: Poor combustion performance Increased soot build-up Higher maintenance costs Potential damage to your boiler Voided manufacturer warranties Even small mixing ratios can affect burner settings and efficiency. At Compass Energy, we always advise using the correct fuel specified by your boiler manufacturer. If you’ve accidentally mixed fuels or are unsure what’s in your tank, it’s best to seek professional guidance before running your heating system. For reliable domestic heating, stick with the right fuel — it protects your boiler, your home, and your long-term energy costs.
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
Yes.
