kerosene is a refined form of diesel. I think it has less sulfur and fewer detergents than diesel.

The difference is the length of the carbon chains (Combinations of hydrogen and carbon.)
Both are refined from crude oil, but Kerosene has a shorter chain than Diesel fuel.
(Gasoline has a shorter chain than Kerosene.)

they are both natural oil products, diesel is refined at higher temperature than diesel. kerosene has higher boiling point and it is used in jet motors. diesel is similar to gasoline and it is used in vehicle motors
