2000年10月11日 · 95% of the winterized diesel fuel sold in North America is blended with kerosene. 30% kero is good for about 0F. In Canada the fuel is blended as high as 50%.

kerosene in TDI - TDIClub Forums

Biodiesel as lamp oil? - TDIClub Forums
2002年8月9日 · I have a "jet engine" type kerosene space heater that sprays fuel past a spark plug for ignition.
