kerosene

[Anil_Sooknanan]

anyone here every tried it in the tank well i'm not into diesel but my pada does work on them and i does be around often a lot of his costomers uses it 1 L per tank and they say they get a increase in performance and it helps keep the injectors clean i know a lil one or two things with diesel but i don't like working on them to much grease d only thing i work on iz d alternator starter and heating system

but yes i tried the kero. and it works because it thinnens d diesel a little so you don't hear lifters or pump knockin and best of all YES it improves performance i guess its good all around my only thing is don't use it every tank full try it every 3-4 tanks..................

lol nah i go get nasty but the diesel oil harder to come off lol

The thing is with keroscene, is that in addition toall those things that you stated earlier, it also raises the temperature of combustion and may blow your pistons.

Cons of kerosene - does not contain lubricants or fuel addtives - no lubrication for your fuel pump.

[pugboy]

this been done for years esp by them maxi and taxi,
it improves the performance of the fuel but some mechs say it eventually causes more wear on seals in the pump etc.

the more advanced mechanics nowadays retime the diesel pump to work with our lower grade diesel

[bleedingfreak]

Do it at your own risk...

[equipped2ripp]

yeah it fcuks up the engine in the long run.. attacks the seals and so on and eventually causes the engine to smoke later on. why u think all those 280C/royal saloon taxis give off smoke like that?

best thing to do is use a diesel treatment... OR the liqui moly - run the engine off the can for 1/2 hr to clean the injectors.

If you want a diesel engine to last like it's supposed to - about 400-500K km then don't do crap like use kerosene.

Kerosene is a heating fuel. Means it contains no addtives, lubricants, etc.

Use a serious diesel additive.

I use Amsoil products. Diesel fuel modifier, Cetane boost Additive, etc.

But it's your choice.

only crazy ppl does use pitch oil...

Kerosene increases the cetane rating on you fuel, it won't damage the engine if used properly, it is actually better for the engine and the pump, the diesel used in tdad is industrial grade diesel fuel for use on tractors and trucks, that is why it is cheaper than gasoline, when properly refined like in many part of the world, diesel and gas are the same price, that low grade fuel is what causes the diesel engines to ''knock'', if u go to the bamboo and start a imported diesel engine with residual diesel fuel in the pump and filter from japan it sounds much more quiet...automotive grade fuel is greenish bluish in colour and much thinner than the industrial grade fuel at home...Buy an cetane boost and smell it and feel the texture and compare it to kerosene, see the difference...none. No doubt it increases engine heat, but engine heat is just the by-product of higher engine performance. If there is too much kerosene then it becomes a problem, it should be used properly.

[equipped2ripp]

first up, diesel isn't measured in octane numbers - it's measured in cetane.
kerosene isn't actually better for the engine and the pump, it makes the engine worse off. kerosene doesn't provide lubrication, so it makes the pump work harder and also puts more strain on the engine.

the end result the vehicle gives off more smoke and decreases engine life.

the only good thing about kerosene is that it burns quicker than diesel because the kerosene is thinner and also, the vehicle improves in acceleration - but this isn't always a good thing.

THIS SHOULD HELP

Examples of fuel flash points
Fuel Flash point Autoignition temperature

Gasoline (petrol) <-40°C (-45°F) 246°C (475°F)
Diesel >62°C (143°F) 210°C (410°F)
Jet fuel >38°C (100°F) 210°C (410°F)
Kerosene (paraffin oil) >38-72°C (100-162°F) 220°C (428°F)


Petrol (gasoline) is designed for use in an engine which is driven by a spark. The fuel should be premixed with air within its flammable limits and heated above its flash point, then ignited by the spark plug. The fuel should not preignite in the hot engine. Therefore, gasoline is required to have a low flash point and a high autoignition temperature.

Diesel is designed for use in a high-compression engine. Air is compressed until it has been heated above the autoignition temperature of diesel; then the fuel is injected as a high-pressure spray, keeping the fuel-air mix within the flammable limits of diesel. There is no ignition source. Therefore, diesel is required to have a high flash point and a low autoignition temperature.

PUTTING IN KEROSENE, you would be defeating the mechanism of how your diesel engine should operate.
