OK, am I correct in thinking Kerosene is what the Yanks call Parrafin ?
Also, will it run in a diesel without damage, and finally......................is it legal ?? Well chip pan fat is !:lol:
 
If it doesn't attract RF then it's unlawful to use it unless you pay the fuel duty. If you make your own biodiesel from frying oil (waste or fresh) then you can burn up to 2500 litres per year for personal usage.

Note that you have to conform to the specs for biodiesel to do this. WVO and SVO (waste and fresh veg oil) unprocesses DO NOT qualify for this exemption untreated.

I'd also be cautious of using it in anything with common rail or PD injection. Maybe diluted 50/50 with pump diesel but particle filters etc will still become problematical.

It's a hard act to call but diesel engines now are very very fussy about fuel quality sadly.
 
The rotor head of injector pump have suffered greatly for this practice.Viscosity of diesel higher than that of kerosene, so lubricating action is required on some parts in the fuel system. Its a bad and selfish practice.
