      You can also just dissolve a shitload of styrofoam plates and cups in a 1:1 mixture of rubbing alcohol and gasoline, if you don’t live near a gas station with a kerosene pump. You can start very wet wood that way, but I wouldn’t use it to cook.

        Kerosene is diesel with red dye added, fyi. Because it’s taxed differently, you can run it in a diesel engine but if you get caught you’re toast.

          Wait so when people bought red diesel they were buying kerosene, which is in fact diesel but red?

          Edit:

          Kerosene and diesel are both petroleum fuels from the molecular components of crude oil. Kerosene is extracted from crude oil first, then diesel, as kerosene has a lower boiling point than diesel. Diesel is a reddish colour while kerosene is colourless
