you can use kerosene in place of diesel. just that kerosine causes diesel engines to run hotter. you will most like have over heating issues. i use kerosene on my diesel gen once in a while |

kaykaybaba: That is the best answer yet, people filter cooking oil and run their diesel engine on it, but you have to start the engine with diesel first then some run completely on cooking oil once engine is warmed/hot. You can start with 15% cooking oil first Biodiesel is made by mixing vegetable oil with lye/NaOH (i think) to remove the glycerol and left with a hydrocarbon CO- end of fatty acid turned CH (organic chem) I m ay have fumbled but you get the idea. |

Duke007: Bro, you have several years experience as an engineer with Diesel engines, yet you're rating Diesel fuel with an Octane rating? Octane number is the ability of Petrol to resist Knock, when operating at a throttle opening that is known to produce maximun Knock (detonation). This applies to Spark engines. Diesel engine is a Compression engine, and Diesel fuel is rated with a Cetane number, which is the ignitability of Diesel fuel (CN 30 - 55 is the norm). |

Siena: There you go again you don turn oyinbo finish(no tech in naija all of them engineer). The man said he is an engineer and he knows the injector rotor head can be damaged. In Nigeria he is an engineer it does not matter if he spent his first year of study buying ogas food, or good old phy101, as long as he opens engines he is engineer |
