There was a fella here sometime back that said he delivered kerosene and diesel for a living, and swore that kerosene and No. 1 diesel were the same and all, minus the coloring for the diesel. Now, I don't know if what he said was true or not. Have no idea. I knew a fella decades back that used to stop in the gas station that I worked at nights after school, and he used to come in every week with two five gallon cans to fill up with No. 2 diesel to use for his furnace back when fuel oil, kerosene was cheaper at 32 cents per gallon versus 49 cents per gallon for diesel. These days, its backwards and for as expensive as fuel oil, kerosene is, diesel is cheaper by about 50 to 60 cents per gallon by me. Kero about $4.50 per gallon, Diesel about $3.90 - $4.00 per gallon.
Every year, I take my left over kerosene and mix it, just to be safe, with the diesel to get rid of it about 1/3 kero, 2/3 diesel. I've never had a problem. Then again, that fella here swore that they were the same, and truth be told, I don't know any better one way or the other.
Since kero is more expensive than diesel, I'd run and burn the diesel in the tractors and trucks, and... And these days I'll save the kero that I have.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
