If you going to run Kerosene you need at least 5% lube oil for that...
7 x 5% = 44 Ozs...
The "rotary" VE pump (pre '94) and electronic VP-44 (98.5+ 24 valve) VE and VP-44 pumps are fuel lubricated.
#1-D Diesel or #2 Fuel Oil (diesel) only
Alternate fuels listed for the P7100 pump may be used in the VE pump if if 5% lube oil is added.

Why run Kerosene its got less BTU's by volume... So its going to produce less power hance lower MPG's... Just to risky of a fuel...

RE: kero
it is free!!! thats the only reason that i am running it! i ran about 200 miles of it so far. the truck is running fine and still feels like there isn't a loss of power. would some plain clean motor oil work for lube. i don't have anymore 2 stroke and don't have time to stop for any tomarrow morning?

do you have any expectations on fuel econ?
now for your next mod, build a grill in your bed that way you can cook some steaks while youre idling in traffic.

RE: kero
i really didn't care about economy just because it was free! i just added two quarts of motor oil that i had in the garage. i didn't have time to stop and get 2 stroke or i would have. i think that i am going to top the tank off before i put it back in the garage with regular diesel just to make sure that there is enought lube in it. it should take about 7-10 gallon.
