[quote:Prof_Rabbit:MV8xMjg5NDUzXzIxMDk2MDA3X0MzNTE4MEJC] [quote:Ossie bloke] Mix with used french fri oil from Mcdonalds or where ever, The kerosene ignites quicker then diesel so mix with strained cooking oil 75 to 25% korosene and you should be in the ball park. The mix needs to be substantially kerosene otherwise it defeats the purpose. [/quote] Then 50/50 bio diesel/kero plus 2% 2 stroke oil. If you want to store this for long periods you will need a diesel fuel life extender. [/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.
