Yes, a diesel engine can technically run on kerosene due to its similarities in combustion properties to diesel fuel. Both are hydrocarbon fuels, but kerosene has a slightly lower viscosity and cetane rating, which can affect engine performance and starting capability, especially in cold weather. Running a diesel engine on kerosene might necessitate adjustments or tuning to accommodate for the different fuel properties and to prevent potential damage to the fuel system. Additionally, the use of kerosene over diesel might violate emission regulations in certain jurisdictions. It’s used as an alternative fuel in scenarios where diesel is unavailable or in emergency situations but is not recommended for long-term use without considering the potential impacts on engine longevity and performance.

It is technically possible for a diesel engine to run on kerosene. but running an engine on a fuel that is not specifically designed for that purpose is generally not recommended. as it can cause long-term damage. affect performance. and void the warranty. Before using an alternative fuel. consult your engine manual or an expert.
