Given facts :
1.0 horsepower (hp) = 550 foot-pounds per second = 2545 Btu per hour = 745.7 watts = 0.746 kW

Kerosene (No. 1 Fuel oil) 135,000 BTU per gallon

gasoline 92 octane 125,ooo Btu per gallon

ethanol 84,400 BTU per gallonGal.

gasohol
(10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) 120,900 Btu per Gal.


So: when we run todays std mix of summer Gasoline/Gasohol we get less Btus per gallon than plain Gas

125,000 Btu - 120,900 = 4100 less or 4100 / 2545 = 1.611 hp/gal

1 gallon = 128 Oz so we add 10% Kerosene (12.8 OZ.) to the present Gasohol mix to increase the Btu content say 10% of 135000 = 13,500 btus for the 13 oz addition.

the remaining 115 oz of Gasohol will produce 90% of its 120,900 btu, = .90 x 120,900 or 108,810 btus

therefore 13,500 + 108,810 = 122,310 mixed btu.

you can add more kero to get back to the old gasolinespower potential.

H.P. potential theory = 122,310 / 2545 = 48.04 H.P per gallon burned.

111 Oz of typical pump Gas

13 OZ #1 Kerosene

4 Oz Airomatic Hydrocarbon (Acetone or Xylene,or Tolune or Benzene) Octane and btu content exceeding gas,kero,alch even race gas- so its all a plus here to err on the more Ozs side.

A much more power producing mixture and also more stable in the tank. you need a few Oz. of Acetone or xylene to promote the mixing by lowering surface tension generally speaking. Plus the Kerosene has lubricating propeties.



and yes ive done the octane and heat of vaporization and dessity mix for 14;1 optimization.
