It's bound to be in a range because kerosene is usually a mixture of C11 to C15 hydrocarbons, so the octane number will vary depending on the carbon chain length. The only reference I found was "between 15 and 25".

Octane means 8 carbon chains, it is used for gasoline, diesel which is essentially the same as kerosene has a cetane rating.

to the ideal of MY expertise, there are none, through fact "octane rankings" are for gas. Diesel is offered in grades a million and a pair of, 2 being the main easy, and a million basically for quite low temperature factors, through fact it would not "gel" as quite. There are additionally different standards that don't shop on with to gas, as to the quantity of sulfur accredited for one. Kerosene isn't utilized in inner combustion engines, and maximum "lamp" mixtures are oil, no longer kerosene, as a result it quite is declared as lamp OIL. in maximum situations, lamp oil can get replaced with #a million diesel in case you will locate it. Sorry i could no longer help greater.
