You must pay the fuel duty and VAT on it in order to use it legally.

I don't know mate, I'd be more inclined to find the best oil to use. I know guys who have used kero in hard times but never gone that route myself.

I know a friend he uses kero mixed with two stroke oil, he uses the green oil as he say when he gets dipped, they are mostly looking for red Diesel.

do not think I would ever want to use kero in an engine, apart from lubrication kero issues the flash point of kero is much lower so over high combustion chamber temperatures will be expected, with what results???? Rick

 

[laurieash]

Do them little engines that you see at steam fairs. the ones that run little water pumps etc, run on kero?

 

[stinka]

You mean steam engines ? :lol

If its not a veg based fuel, then duty must be paid at 61p ltr for road use.

jet engines run on paraffin, or they did when I worked on Camberas in the Raf. we used to run our heating stoves on the same fuel, taking it out of the same bowser as we filled up the planes. It does make a smell that is aesily detected in ic engines as does the rapeseed oil I use. regards bri.
