Kerosene is actually a pretty good lubricant in its own right. It is also an excellent penetrating oil too, which you might have noticed when you try to wash it off your hands. Thus you do not need to add extra oil to the fuel when you are mixing it up for your engine.
So besides the oil added to the fuel the kerosene also lubricates the engine, especially the lower end.
On what basis do you suggest that kero is a lubricant suitable for replacing some of the oil in the mixture?
This goes against every fuel mixing doctrine I've heard or read of or used in fifty five years of owning and running diesels.
