boilerman:the main problem is seizing of the fuel injection pump and injector sticking due to the lack of lubrication from kerosine.You will have to mix a small amount of mineral oil with the kerosine. About 1.0 % by volume would be the minimum. In other words,add 1 gallon of light mineral oil to every 100 gallons of kerosine.
