kerosene in diesel (1 Viewer)

[M John Galt]

Kerosene is not abrasive, it simply does not contain the lubricity additives some types of IPs require. That does not make it abrasive.

Generators must have air leaks.Bad fuel wouldnt cause fuel to disappear from the injector line


Actually the injectors sieze up and stop pumping the fuel through.

CORRECT
My bad wording/explanation, lack of lubricity as you mention. I don't recall them using any conditioner/lube in the vehicles in Antarctica, just fill them up directly out of the JetA1 drum, maybe JetA1 has plenty of additives already.

The only difference is that the heating oil has purple dye added to it. So The Man can tell if you are using it in your truck. -kevin

Big fines for running dyed diesel in a road vehicle from what I have heard...

I used Jet A-1 for years in my BJ60, ran fine. Only cost me 29 cents a litre - so it was a no brainer.

Any ideas where to get it at this price

Must have been in the mid 90's I presume? I remember diesel at 44c a litre in Quebec, I imagine it would have been much cheaper in Ontario (as usual)
