Putting the road tax issue aside - If I was running the truck off road I would blend the kerosene with 2 stroke oil............. 2 Cycle Oil

@ hepp25,
I've heard that the Army/Airforce in Greenland run their F-350's on kero, only they have had their injectorpumps changed for "artic"ones where the pistons and plunjers are hardened. so they will not wear out so quicley without lubricating.( kero lubricates not as well as diesel does.)\
good luck!

Kerosene is a lighter fuel that diesel.
Less power, less MPG, and less lubrication.
Blending kerosene with diesel during the winter will help with the fuel gelling at cold temps, which is what the fuel companies do.
Yes it will run on kerosene, but the fuel system will not be happy.
Since it is a higher refined product, kerosene is more expensive than diesel here.

Hello,
since kero is used for aircraft, it's almost free of taxes.
and since the diesel is about 1.35 € / Liter over here, kero is WWWWAAAAAYYYY cheaper.
The only thing is; the French don't allow you to transport it when you don't have a certified rig to transport it with, even friends who build a tractorpuller can't run that machine anymore on kero. they have to use Methanol or something else.

you could mix it with motor oil or automatic transmission fluid
you need to add some type of lubricant
we had the local airport fueler truck company using JET-A in their diesel and destroyed pumps and injectors due to no real lubrication in teh fuel
