| Does Kerosene work with plugs like gas or compression like Diesel? |

The way a kerosene or other low grade fuel burning engine works is you fill the main tank with kerosene and a smaller lawnmower size "Starting" tank with gasoline. The engine is started on gasoline and once warmed up the gas is turned off and the kerosene is turned on. A low grade fuel engine will normally have an intake manifold that is heated by the exhaust more so than a gasoline manifold. Because kerosene is much less volatile, it takes a hot manifold to help vaporize it so the engine can burn it efficiently. Low grade fuels also have lower octane so the engine will typically have a lower compression ratio to prevent pinging. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
