kero wont hurt your engine,, butt there is no way it wil increase power or fuelmiage. it al boiles down to the fact that kero has less btu's er pound therefore it will decrease power and therefore fuelmilage.,,it may reduse totafuelcosts insomeareas where you can get kero cheaper than diesel.

Now if you need kerosene in an emergency or use it only once in a great while, then there's really no risk of damage or problems.
