Actually both diesel and kerosene are fuels produced by crude oil. We can produce these fuels as achieving the oil refining process. That means heating and condensing the crude oil on various temperatures. So apparently both are fuels, but it has some differences by the following point of view.
- Production
- Consumption
- Rate
- Formation.
Production:-
During the oil refining process kerosene is produced at the temperature of between 150 degree C and 275 degree C. By the other hand diesel is produced between 200 degree C and 350 degree C
Consumption:-
Literal meaning of consumption is usage of these fuels. Most probably in US kerosene is used in lamps and to heating purpose. In countries like India kerosene used for cooking. In many vehicles diesel is used as fuel.
Rate:-
In this view diesel is costlier than kerosene. If you sale diesel then you need to pay tax, but for kerosene need not to pay tax.
Formation:-
In this view we can see what ingredients are differences in both diesel and kerosene? In diesel has a strict molecular but for kerosene statement failed.
