Steve is right. I am sure that I have read that the ignitable temperature range of kerosene exceeds even that of gasoline, so I will look for the data for sure. If you want to get technical, cetane is the measure of a fuels ability to ignite under compression, while octane is the measure of a fuel's ability to RESIST igniting under compression, so they are both basically measurements of the same thing, but at opposite ends of the scale. If you doubt that kerosene is volatile, you might want to talk to the family of one of the many people that have been killed in kerosene explosions while fueling an old tractor with it still hot. Any petroleum product is volatile, it all depends on the conditions at which that volatility is reached.
