Can diesel be used in a kerosene heater?
Can diesel be used in a kerosene heater? The good news is that it is safe to burn diesel in a kerosene heater. Diesel and kerosene are relatively close to one another. The main difference is that diesel burns a little cooler and will cause the wick to build carbon much quicker than kerosene. Should I use kerosene or diesel in my heater? Kerosene has a lighter viscosity than diesel, so it will burn hotter. This can help heat the house, but it could also cause some problems for a heater not equipped to handle heat that's hotter than what...
