<p class="MsoPlainText">Diesel and heating oil are identical. Both change seasonally so that the summer diesel doesn’t “freeze” in winter (go jelly-like).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Kerosene = paraffin anywhere. The composition includes (usually) C9H20 to C15H32 which is typically missing from diesel and biodiesel.

<p class="MsoPlainText">Kerosene usually stops at C20H42 while diesel includes C22H46 which explains the different Redwood numbers.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Within the kerosene family there are two kinds: illumination paraffin which has an additive to make the flames shed more light, and power paraffin which is unadulterated.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">> I have a report that this stove was being used with “petrol” which I think in English means “diesel”, while gasoline is called “essence”. It was recorded as a “kerosene stove” that due to absence of fuel, was being operated with
“petrol” which I think is diesel.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">> Does anyone have experience operating a kerosene stove with diesel? I have never tried it as kerosene is so common and almost invariably cheaper.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">I can't help with the stove but have used something similar where the wick was wound up by a thumbwheel, you wound it just high enough for the flame to remain blue. They were "aladdin stoves" and continue to be available for greenhouse
heating. Using heating oil/kerosene in these tended to block the wick and the wick could not be turned up as far so lower power IIRC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The fuel was paraffin which ceased to be available cheaply decades ago in UK. kerosene is generally a heavier oil and used for heating as 28 second heating kerosene. Gasoil and diesel are the same and 35 second redwood. A higher grade
kerosene is available for the wicked AGA cookers, it's still 28 second but much more expensive. With these cookers once they are up to temperature they act in a vaporising mode and the wick doesn't burn as it is below the flame.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Gasoline in UK is petrol.<o:p></o:p></p>
