I agree with Ron, on top of that in El Salvador and I think in all central
america one gallon of kerosene cost more tha a gallon of diesel. I think it is
not the best solution

Because the soap and cosmetics manufacturers need specific fatty acids,
separating fatty acids from non-edible oils and animal fats is a thriving
industry in India, This process leaves glycerine behind. I do not know what
glycerine is used for, but if it is available at a moderate price of about US
Cents 50 per kg, one might consider it as one of the liquid fuels Crystalline
sugar is also available in India at about the same price. It melts at a
moderate temperature of about 100C. Has anybody tried it?
