I've read many posts where owners tell they've added kerosene to their diesel fuel in order to combat cold weather. This USED to be an alternative when Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel was available.
No longer.
Kubota specifically states that Kerosene is NOT TO BE ADDED to diesel fuel. If cold wx is causing fuel problems, Kubota states to use an anti-gel additive or to switch to No. 1 diesel fuel.
ALSO some reminders according to Kubota:
1-NO ether or starting fluid. EVER.
2-Ethylene Glycol anti-freeze is OK... NEVER Propylene.
3-Synthetic Oil use is OK... but DO NOT extend oil change periods.
4-Bio-diesel is ok but B5(5% max) for electronic injection and up to B20 for mechanical injection.
5-ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) is OK for all engines.
