    Do you know Diesel Engine can process Kerosene?
    Yes it works. Kerosene is much cheaper than Diesel and has less taxes on it. Use them as mixed fuel.

    Put in 1 gallon of kerosene for every 5 gallons of diesel.

    Petrol cars can work on Ethanol ?
    Yes it works.
    Ethanol price can fluctuate. Use them as mixed fuel, 20% ethanol with 80% petrol mix.

    It works machan. But problem with running kerosene in a diesel engine is the higher combustion temperature. Everything in the combustion area will start wearing much faster -rings, gaskets, valve
