Does kerosene score injectors?

[mike69440]

To really add lubricity to Diesel Fuel, just add some ASHLESS 2 stroke outboard oil to the tank. I used something like 1L two-stroke oil to 100L Diesel. Most of the other stuff is snake oil. I am doing this up here all the time, as our fuel is almost like water.

I would think straight Kerosene might not be so good. A mix should be harmless, I do Mix Kerosene in the fuel in winter along with PS white Bottle. Still, 2 cycle oil, marvel mystery oil, ATF all are good ideas.

STRAIGHT Kero WILL score the injectors.. no lube.
As long as its mixed you will be fine.. Just run it out & don't do it again..

I'm not really challenging your position, just curious and trying to learn something. We used to have 353 detroits. We ran straight jp5 known as jet fuel. It is supposed to be a high grade kerosene. In theory how did that work without messing up the pump and infectors?

These fuel injector pumps are not created equal. Some Diesels can indeed run on jet fuel forever, but probably the injector pump is lubed from the engine oil sump. Other than that, using ATF, 2 stroke oil or similar is a real turd if there is emissions equipment on the engine. Other than that depending on the fuel, I'd start with something like 200:1 ratio with regular diesel.
