Kerosene has a lower BTU content than #2 diesel fuel which results in a decrease in engine power and fuel economy. Kerosene has an average BTU content of approximately 133,500 BTU per gallon and #2 diesel fuel has an average BTU content of approximately 139,500 BTU per gallon.
When using a 50:50 kerosene blend, the BTU content is approximately 136,500 or two percent less than #2 diesel. The resulting power loss is approximately two percent. Fuel economy will also decrease by at least two percent.
Kerosene provides only minimal increased winter fuel operability. Kerosene will decrease the Cold Filter Plug Point (CFPP) by 2ºF for every 10% kerosene used. Diesel fuel additives, on the other hand, will reduce the CFPP by as much as 35°F- 45°F.
Kerosene contains less lubricity than #2 diesel fuel. Diesel fuel lubricity is a major concern because of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULSD contains significantly less lubricity than Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD). As a result, metal components in the engine fuel system, including fuel pumps and injectors, are susceptible to premature failure. Many diesel fuel additives will actually increase overall fuel system lubricity.
Kerosene contains less cetane than #2 diesel fuel. Cetane is the most universally accepted measure of diesel fuel ignition quality. Proper ignition during the combustion cycle is essential for optimum operation, economics, and durability. Insufficient levels of cetane lead to hard starting, longer warm-ups and heavy white smoke.
Summary of Disadvantages of Kerosene Blending
1) Increased Cost
2) Decreased Engine Power
3) Decreased Fuel Economy
4) Inadequate Winter Fuel Operability
5) Decreased Lubricity
6) Decreased Cetane

I mashed down too, van stopped but I got a jerk on the brake pedal when i mashed down full. What can be the cause of this?Anyone ever experienced this problem? BTW the rotors and brake pads are good.
