Our kid was saying his teachers husband ...got pulled by HMRC ..can we dip your tank? Yes sure go ahead.
After two full laps of the van he informed them... Was leccy

Mix 50/50 with diesel and chuck a bit of two stroke oil in.

Kero is used in the artic as a direct swap as it doesn't wax

Thanks.
I was thinking about keeping it below 50%, but the 2st is a good idea too.

Just paid £1.66 for white. Cheaper than not having any in a months time if we get shortages.
Still hurts.

I knew someone who used kerosene in their old 4x4. They added chainsaw oil as kero doesn't lubricate as well as diesel apparently. Burns hotter and gummed up fuel filter and so needed changing more frequently. I think he was paying 35p a litre at the time.

I'm led to believe 25% kero is safe limit

Archived Petition: Reduce fuel duty and VAT by 40% for a period of 2 years

The Government should reduce the cost of fuel through a reduction of 40% in fuel duty and VAT for 2 years. This can effectively offset the rise in fuel prices since 2020.

Doesn’t matter what the limit is anyway, if you can even get kerosene round here it’s well over a quid a litre currently!

Here is a question I've never found a convincing answer to:
A mate just sent me a message wanting to empty a heating oil tank he no longer uses.
Particularly at the moment, I've wondered if it's ok to burn in place of retail fuel.
I'm only running old-school diesel engines (Perkins 1000 Phaser is the most modern).

So - what is in 'diesel' that is missing from heating oil?
The various 'snake oil' additives seem to contain the detergents that are already added to diesel fuel, so perhaps this is one place they would actually be valuable?

is his "heating oil" Kero or gas oil (red diesel) ??
