Not as is. The military uses JP8 in diesel engined vehicles, but JP8 is a very highly refined form of kerosene, and not equivalent to what you'd purchase at the pump. It might work for a while, but, in the end, you'd probably end up having to replace your motor and entire fuel system.

Can you use diesel in place of k1 kerosene?
Typically cars either burn gasoline or diesel fuel if the engines are equipped to burn that.

But it will get you home in a pinch. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a wick type kerosene heater then no. Diesel fuel will smoke and stink compared to kerosene.

Kerosene does burn cleaner though.
