    And you get your knowledge from???? Kerosene is usable up to -40 °C, Russian Arctic diesel and other Arctic diesel fuels are usable below -50 °C.

    I wrote about common rail diesels, any modern diesel engine is a common rail diesel engine in case you didn't know. Diesel fuel has lubricating properties, kerosene doesn't.

    Here you can’t buy clear (tax paid) kero (#1) anywhere to mix it yourself....

    Your at the mercy of the oil companies.... and I know enough to not trust the A-Holes...

    I think they lose money on the mix and would rather sell additives , I don’t trust them either
