Run on Kerosene

A guy I work with keeps telling me I can save money and put kerosene in my diesel. I keep telling him it can't be because if it were everyone would be doing it. Any truth to that ? I know that kero and diesel are simular but can I really fill up my truck with it ? Will it work but is it a legal thing ?

Your truck will run on kero,but i would not do it in the newer diesels.It is drier the diesel and wont lube as well.
I used to burn it in my 93 cube diesel 7.3,but i wont do it in my 2003.And its not legal either!!!!

Around here, kerosene is more expensive than diesel and always as been more expensive. You get less mileage on kero, plus less lubrication to your injectors.

Here in north central Oh., they dye the kero red, and it costs more to boot.
