Carbon chain is longer as big for Kerosine and same time petrol has small as lighter carbon scale so the ignization point is relativley high for kerosin and relativley low for petrol an gasoline.

What is the difference between Petrol Diesel Kerosene and gasoline?
"Petrol" is what the British (and Australians, Irish and New Zealanders) call gasoline. Petrol is actually a contraction of the word petroleum which is the feedstock. So there's no difference between petrol and gasoline. Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel are different "fractions" of petroleum distillate. Gasoline is the lowest-boiling/most volatile of the three, kerosene is intermediate, and diesel is the highest-boiling/least volatile. Jet fuel is actually Jet Kerosene. The Britsih usually call kerosene "paraffin". In the US, paraffin is an even higher fraction of petroleum distillate that is solid at room temperature and is generally referred to as "wax".
Why kerosene you can mix with petrol and diesel?
If we dissolve kerosene in petrol running vehicle the petrol filtrer in the car will be damaged and also the pump.
What liquid is best for burning?

Type your answer here... the petrol kerosene diesel get sepreted due to fractional distillation .
What is the different between petrol and diesel?

What is the major difference between a petrol car and a diesel one?
The primary difference between a petrol car and diesel car is the consumption rate - diesel and petrol are refined from mineral oil using differing methods. The result is diesel engines having a lower fuel consumption rate than their petrol counterparts when installed in a vehicle of similar mass. CO2 emissions are also lower in a diesel engine than they are in a petrol engine.
What is the difference in chemical composition of petrol compared to kerosene?
Petrol, is different from Kerosene because the hydrocarbons that you find in Petrol will generally have less hyrdogen and carbon atoms than Kerosene would have. E.g. the hydrocarbons that make up Petrol may have in between 4 to 12 carbon and 10 to 26 hydrogen atoms, whereas Kerosene would have between 6 to 16 carbon and 14 to 34 hydrogen atoms.
