“The kerosene cannot be safely used with the low-sulphur diesel that we have now,” he said. “The diesel that we had prior to the low-sulphur diesel would’ve worked as a mixture with the kerosene at the time. Low-sulphur diesel is obviously of a higher quality, we are told, and it can lead to engine damage if it is used with kerosene.
