can kerosene be run in a 5 ton with a multifuel or a mix of k-1 and diesel be safer
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
A multi-fuel, as well as a regular diesel will burn kerosene; the main issue is kero doesn’t have any lubricating properties for the injector pump
If I had to run kero in a diesel I would add a couple quarts of oil just to give the fuel system some lube
Also kero is usually dyed red, and then you get into the whole "off-road fuel" issue

By all means GET it, and mix oil or use it as a mixer. Something off the wall: I used to ride two stroke dirt bikes and used to burn 'Bean Oil' and it had a very pleasant smell to it ( those who have smelled it know what I mean ) Anyway, a quart in the tank would sure have people on the street sniffing the air, looking around wondering the source...........i was just wondering because i have a source of 500 gallons of k-1 free i will mix wmo with it we have 110 gallons of that from the farm tractors as far as the red dye i have farm plates on the beast so it dont go far from home to start with it was kind of fun to go to dinner in it last night![]()
What do you need to be doing to get a DOT guy to sniff around your tank? Just curious - I'm wondering if that will be a worry in my life. I can't imagine one pulling me over just because or following me home.the ultra low sulfur carp that is out now aint got much lube in it anyhow. I run about a gallon of 2 stroke oil in 1/2 tank of straight diesel in mine.
I have run 100%wmo also, it ran fine.
I DID run into a dot guy that gave me crap about my "red fuel" ooops......I explained it as i run a shop tha has lots of used transmisison fluid and I was running that. He really didnt care other than to give me S#!T about it all. I was thankful for that. He did mention that my bridge truck looked a little wide too..
My truck has a detroit diesel in it and it has run great on just about anyhting i throw at it. WMO and diesel seems to be the best so far.
