i have about 800litres of summer diesel mark, how much kerrosine should i put in( i have put in my algae stuff and sat the tank right back for the last few months)

 

Don’t put the kero in your bulk tank, just have it in barrels ready to mix as and when needed, however you will have to keep an eye on coming weather or pre mix some barrels of red/kero for use.

 

Fyi: you can add 2-stroke oil for the quantity of kero used to add lubricity.

 

 

Mog owners read your operator manuals about diesel fuels and the mixing of petrol (<30%) OR kero (<50%) for dealing with cold.

so i take it you need a lot of keroseen(50%) if its quite expensive and a hassle, would i be aswell just sticking white diesel in for all i am using. i couldnt be bothered with trying to mix it myself and having barrels and a pump, my yard is tiny and i dont really have any room..
