It's the same Chris - called Kero in Aus. too and it goes into the
classic paraffin heaters and lamps. It is dyed and flavored I think,
unlike jet fuel.

I don't think that it's the same Lama. I am no expert, but paraffin
and kerosene smell completely different.  I see paraffin at garages,
and kerosene is jet fuel, or heating oil.  Unless of course they
make paraffin smell different on purpose.  My heating oil tank has
kerosene written on it.

My diesel Mercedes is allowed to have kerosene mixed with diesel for
the winter, apparently.  All clear now? ;-)

I've heard that kerosene in the USA mystically becomes paraffin on

Why can't the British learn to speak a common language?  :)
