Do you have any idea of the effects of acetone on a Honda Insight? I believe
the carburetion is slightly different in this car than the average.
While I get good mileage with my Insight, I'd be happy to do better still if
the acetone will do no harm...

Hello Chris.
Kerosene according to JET A1 is consisting from fractions from both gasoline
and diesel pools. The cetane number of kerosene should be about 38-40 and
has a lower density than diesel oil. My suggestion is that you mix it with
biodiesel , at the most 50/50 for engine fuel. It will
Hi Chris,
Certainly blend it with bioD - I would tend to have a higher proportion of
bioD than 50/50 though, just to be safe.
On no account use straight kero - in time it will wreck your diesel pump as
it does not have the lubrication properties of dinoD or bioD.
Kero will not work in a petrol
spread with all speed. Hey guys, methinks there's good money to be
made in futures options on water-wings for financiers. - K

quite happily in most motors I know of. I would not use it pure, though,
since it is about halfway between petrol and diesel and will not

It will be fine for cold starts in winter.

What makes you think the U.S. did a good job with the invasion? It was a
major cluster. Sure we beat up a third world army but failed to send the
forces to close the borders. Iraq is the size of France. We invaded France
in 1944 with about 1 million soldiers, Iraq with 120,000.
Common sense is actually quite uncommon in some circles. Most of the free

victims of a cabal.
