Whats the difference between kerosene and gas oil?
Most domestic heating systems run on kerosene, which is also known as 28-second oil (or more commonly home heating oil). Kerosene (kero) provides a cleaner and more efficient burn than Gas oil (red diesel), which is also known as 35-second oil. Gas oil is more commonly used in agriculture and industry. Gas oil is less combustible than kerosene but does give slightly more heat per unit.
