It will lower the lubricity and change the flash point. it might have some advantage in the winter. Lower lubricity can be alleviated by adding lube oil. You may add anti jell additive instead of kerosene is that is what is desired. In pre-intercooler age they use to say 30% kerosene is okay as long as you have add some lube oil. In winter oil companies themselves add kerosene in Northern US and Canada. The cooler the winter gets more kerosene they add until I believe in northern-most Canada diesel engines are run on 100% kerosene in dead of winter as diesel would just crystallize in that weather.
