Re: 40L of paraffin

Re: 40L of paraffin
It seems that kerosene in the US is what we call paraffin.
Here, however, kerosene refers to aviation fuel and is NOT the same as paraffin.

Re: 40L of paraffin
Afaik Kerosene /heating oil is basically paraffin , it is reffered to as 28 second burning oil , and paraffin was a slightly cleaner burning version for indoor portable heaters etc , Kerosene is also aviation fuel for jet engines , i have a mate that used to be in the business , the 28 second bit is the time it tke 50 ml to run through a small test hole , where as diesel and Gasoil (red diesel ) is thicker and takes 35 sconds to run through the same hole , if you only want the stuff for cleaning oil off things or for a parts cleaner go to a garage that sells red diesel or if you know a freindly farmer see if he will sell ya a drop , it will be cheaper than a garage for sure ,
