RE: Another Fuel Question

Hi Bill

Your Diesel/Kero question. The only infromation I can find is that Kero is added to diesel to lower the "freezing" point of the diesel. The diesel does not actually freeze but forms a wax which clogs in the filters and the engine will no longer run. The maximum amount of kero to be added to diesel is 10%. Thereafter the lubrication of the diesel is not sufficient.

Regards

Zane
