I just got about a gallon of Lemon and Bayberry scented/colored Lamp oil and wanted to know if anyone has run this through their diesel? Mixed, of course

I did some searching and the kinda-not-so-official answer floating around the internet for what lamp oil is further refined Kerosene with colors and scents... Diesels can run off Kerosene ;Sweet

I may just have to try it and get some lemon scented exhaust! :rotflmao

kerosine sure, not sure what the perfume would do but it probably wont make it worse. Usually the scented stuff is more expensive IIRC, and the kerosine with bug killer might not be good to use either :puke::peelout

you can run it with no problems. In fact there are those who run a little in all their diesel/WVO strictly for the scent. It can do a little to covers the harsh diesel or burnt WVO and can be a real curiosity for people on the street lol

lamp oil is an olifin. olifin's are one of the waxes that are found in crude oil. the heavier olifin's that you see are things like candel wax and the lighter are ones are like your lamp oil. there are even finer grades but the average guy want run into them. it should run fine mix with your fuel and mihgt help lub everything a little.
