Petrol is more flammable than kerosene because petrol has a lower flash point and autoignition temperature. This means petrol is more likely to ignite at lower temperatures compared to kerosene.

What if you accidentally put diesel fuel in your car instead of petrol?

Depending on the mix (how much petrol vs how much diesel), the car will either not go at all, or may go but feel jerky. It is obviously not recommended to put ANY diesel in a petrol engine, simply because of the way a petrol engine works vs how a diesel engine works. In a petrol engine, the fuel is made to combust only with a spark, and therefore requires a much higher pressure for combustion to take place. The higher the octane of the fuel, the more pressure is needed for the fuel to combust. A diesel engine works in the opposite way, where it needs less pressure and no spark to combust. If you have accidentally put diesel in a petrol engine, don't drive the car. Drain the fuel. You may have to replace to fuel filter and the spark pugs Comment: To clarify the above logic. CAUTION!! Diesel engines have compression ratios of 15:1 or more so that PRESSURE (not spark) ignites the fuel. Petrol engines use SPARK to ignite the fuel. The high octane rating of petrol is so that it does not PRE-IGNITE (pink) under pressure. Raise the compression ratio and you need a higher octane rating, which is why some petrolheads use Avgas (130 octane) on their high performance engines. Diesel engines need HIGH pressure to operate, petrol engines can use LOWER pressure to work, but need higher octane rated fuel if the pressure rises.


Does jet fuel have a higher btu rating than fuel oil?

"BTU rating" could mean specific energy (energy per mass) or energy density (energy per volume) which are not necessarily the same. Kerosene has a higher specific energy (~48.4 MJ/kg for kerosene vs. 43.1 MJ/kg for diesel) but a lower energy density (33.6 MJ/L for kerosene vs 38.6 MJ/L for diesel).This analysis assumes jet fuel as kerosene and fuel oil as diesel (both comparisons are generally close to each other). Diesel and fuel oil differ in that diesel has a cetane number specification, which is a measure of ignition delay. Kerosene differs from jet fuel by a few specifications applied to specific types of jet fuel, but most jet fuel is kerosene based.Note: since the question was asked about Btu and my answer was given in megajoules here is the proper conversion:1 megajoule (MJ) = 947.81712 British Thermal Units (Btu)1 US gallon = 3.7854118 Liters (L)
