Kerosene

Kerosene, sometimes spelled kerosine in scientific and industrial usage, is a flammable hydrocarbon liquid. The name is derived from Greek "keros" . It is commonly called paraffin oil or paraffin in the UK and South Africa ; the term kerosene is usual in much of Canada, the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand.Its heating value, or heat of combustion, is around 18,500 Btu/lb, or 43.1 MJ/kg, making it similar to that of diesel. It is widely used to power jet-engined aircraft, but is also commonly used as a heating fuel. (From the Wikpedia article Kerosene.)
