suggest that whoever wrote this buys himself a mercedes benz diesel powered car, and runs it on jp1 (jet fuel), which is the purest form of kerosene commercially available. should he be able to start the motor, he should carefully time the elapsed time before it self destroys, in a rather grandiose manner. i believe such statements to be misleading, and therefore harmful. we are all entitled to information ( right to know), but the same does not apply to misinformation. IMHO. kerosene's propensity to auto-ignite are such that many years back john deere would equip it's kerosene engined tractors with a water injector to restore power when the knocking got really bad. and these engines where at best 7:1, and spark ignition fired. do not under any circumstances attempt to run a diesel engine on kerosene, unless you wish to total it. dick.
