[SEL] Power Kerosene replacement recipies

[Patrick M Livingstone]

I use lighting kerosene in my Austral and we use the same thing in the
various Blackstones, Hornsbys and Crossleys up here. I have never bothered
to try kero in my spark plug kero engines for two reasons; they don't get
hot enough; my spark plug kerosene engines are thirsty buggers and kero is a
lot more expensive than petrol.
The big R&V is petrol/kero but there is no way I could ever get it hot
enough to burn kero.

Hi guys,
Now that Power Kerosene is well and truly unavailable, what are people 
using instead? If used a 50:50 mix of mineral spirit and lighting 
kerosene used but it fouls the plugs (not hot enough - too much soot?).

Yes, I know you can just run the engines on petrol, but I like playing 
with stuff :)
