Basics

A Liquid Fuel Between Diesel Fuel and Heavy Fuel Oil
Energy Dense, Relatively Safe (Compared to more volatile fuels like Gasoline etc ), and stores well
Main disadvantages are Sooty Flame (outside of more controlled combustion like in Gas Turbines or Forced Air Burners etc), long term Tank Sludge Formation (although impact of refining/“grade” of kerosene, and tank rust prevention is worth investigating), and cleanup being a major consideration (Gasoline to an extent, but ESPECIALLY E-85 , Fuel Alcohols and LPG all evaporate or dissipate near instantly making cleanup unecissary, anything below gasoline will contaminate Soil/Water)

Unsure on this, most articles lead to old sulfur rating classes, as with Off Road Diesel (if I understand correctly) they are all hltra-low sulfur like Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
HOWEVER Jet Fuel (JP-5 / JP-8 etc) / “Aviation Turbine Fuel” and Rocket Fuel (RP-1) do seem to be more “refined” (RP-1 Especially)

Simple Wick Lamps, although Lamp Oil ‘’may’’ be more complex (or may just be marketing)
In Kerosene Mantle Lanterns although Propane is far easier
- Whitegas / “Coleman Fuel” is a related concept
Kerosene Heaters
Kerosene Stoves / Liquid Fuel Stoves
Kerosene Blowtorches / Liquid Fuel Blowtorches
More of a historical curiosity/example of Stirling Engines in use BUT Kerosene Fans

Diesel Engines (potentially, double check)
For Babington Burner / Forced Air type burners, either for Process Heat such as in a forge, or for Steam in a Boiler / other liquids in a Direct Fired Process Heater etc
In Gas Turbines (either as a generator, or in Aviation use)
