So I went to get some kero today for a couple heaters, and to my shock it is a dollar a gallon cheaper than diesel (here).
For cold-weather, I was planning to run up to 50% diesel and 50%w80 in my main tank (start and stop on separate diesel tank). I also did some research and cannot find the cetane rating of kero - would love to know what it is.
Question:
Could I theoretically still run 50% kero with WMO and have sufficient lubricity with improved cetane - Just as the addition of diesel would do?
I never really thought I would have to consider this, as kero has always cost so much more than diesel. I suppose I never thought I would be making fuel in my garage either.
As an aside, there is at least 10% kero in my tank right now, as I dumped in 2 gallons of kero after filling my heaters (the remaining fuel in the tank is probably 70% w80 and 30% 1202).
