KEROSENE BLENDED DIESEL FUEL BASICSINTRODUCTIONKerosene is frequently blended with diesel fuel toimprove winter cold flow operability. A kerosene blended diesel fuel is acombination of #1 diesel fuel (kerosene)and #2 diesel fuel. The ratio of diesel fuel to kerosene is typically found inthe range of 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, or 50:50.BENEFITS OF KEROSENE BLENDINGTheprimary, if not sole, reason for blending diesel fuel with kerosene is toimprove cold flow operability. Kerosene has a better cold filter plugging point(CFPP) than diesel fuel, which means it can be successfully passed through afilter at a lower temperature than an untreated diesel fuel.COST DISADVANTAGES OF KEROSENE BLENDINGKerosene blending is not a cost effective method ofachieving desired cold flow operability. In most cases, treating fuel with acold flow improver additive is the most cost effective solution.
Fuel Oil Vs Diesel
Scott, you are right, we had discussed the clear liquid shortening and I thought I had stayed away from it until I saw the cubies. Yesterday, I went back to my supplier and commented about the mixing of Clear Liquid Oil and Clear Liquid Shortening. Undoubtedly, the grill cook was not aware the oil had been mixed until I saw it on the cubies and so I've been told they have a new supplier and it will be only Clear Liquid Oil. I have asked them to keep the empty cubies for me, so I can use them for storage, etc. I will wait and see what happens. The kero I had mentioned mixing with my biodiesel is considered highway kero with taxes paid on it at the pump. All of our kero is dyed, as well as off road diesel.
Our DOT will spot check big rigs, but so far I haven't heard of them checking small diesels. However, I never use dyed fuel in my pickup. Next door in S.C. All of the fuel is cheaper due to our state taxes being lower so the kero is actually cheaper than their diesel. Our kero is higher than our diesel and the diesel is 20 to 40 cents higher per gallon than our unleaded.
Several years ago, I had an Olds with a GM diesel (converted gasoline to diesel) and the book allowed me to use 10 percent gasoline during the winter to keep the diesel from gelling. Do you think that would be wise to use gasoline in biodiesel during the winter? Hey Tom, As long as you can get highway kero, and it's cheaper, go ahead and run it with a mixture of at least B20 to keep the lubricity up. Kerosene is often used as a thinning (viscosity reducing) agent to help prevent diesel (middle distillate grade #2) and, but it does reduce the fuel's lubricity as well. Since biodiesel has a very high level of lubricity, the reduction from mixing with kerosene is minimal. With regular petro diesel, care must be taken to avoid over-thinning.
To avoid this problem, most fuel distribution centers carry winter diesel (light distillate grade #1) for delivery to fueling stations in cold climates. No, the price is not a typo. Has been about a buck a gallon cheaper for the last several years. I've been experimenting with varying percentages of E85 in my gasoline powered 5.7-liter 1994. A story about my results as well as doing a full conversion to E85 is in the plans. Which brings me to your question about running a gasoline and SVO ) mixture in a diesel. I would steer clear for the very reasons you mentioned as well as others from horror stories I've heard.

Diesels are designed for dense, low volatility oil based fuels (diesel, biodiesel and kerosene). Gasoline style engines are spark ignited and require light and highly volatile fuels (gasoline, alcohol and E85). It doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to understand that an improperly-mixed amount of gasoline and vegetable oil (too much gasoline) could easily prematurely ignite (detonate) and destroy a and/or valvetrain.
