[quote:Ossie bloke:MV8xMjg5NDUzXzIxMDk0NDgyX0Q2RTI5RTZC] [quote:m_astera] Last time I was in the US kerosene was hard to find and cost twice as much as diesel. Not the same in OZ? Why not just store diesel? If you want a mix for kerosene, I'd suggest 2-cycle oil rather than regular motor oil. [/quote] As I said... diesel is only good for one thing - running the car. Kerosene on the other hand can have many uses. Imagine running out of kerosene and being left with hundreds of litres of diesel, a car, and nowhere to go because the roads are trashed by flooding, landslides and downed trees. [/quote]

I know diesel engines don't mind 3% kerosene because that is what we call in Australia alpine diesel. I also know you can mix it in higher ratios like 50/50 but diesel engines don't like it.
I use kerosene for lighting and cooking and it would be nice to be able to use it in the car sometimes if there is no diesel handy.
