Am I wrong, or was Kerosene used to thin out diesel in the winter monthes back in the seventies and eighties? I am convinced that someone once told me that paraffin(sp?) was added to diesel as a lubricant, but being from the wax family, would jell in colder temps, hence the need for the kerosene as a "thinning agent".
The cool thing about diesel cars is that thy can run on french fry oil! Talk about your "bio-diesel".
If anyone has driven the new Volkswagen TDI cars, they would have to agree that they are a far cry from "your father's diesel". The torque is just great.
