AFAIK heating oil (kerosene) doesn't lubricate the same as doozil/veg etc. I may be wrong but I'm still not gonna try it.

I'm not blaming the yanks for anything
as I said before, all I was saying was that you call it kerosene and we call it paraffin (thanks Daft

who gives a toss?
google it if you really want to know.
This conversation is pointless as you only got involved because I mentioned yanks and you assumed it was in a derogatory manner, which it wasn't. So please stop trying to start an argument.........I can't be arsed tonight, save it for Friday
