Years ago, working for the highway dept. we used it to start brush
fires. Poured it in a used tire with some rags then lit it. At times
when the fire was sluggish, dumped it right on.
Oh, those were tha days.

I have used kerosene in the past to remove rust from tools. It is also
of course used as oil in lanterns. I used it the other day to my
surprise to clean some greasy parts up and it worked great. I got to
thinking about it and am a little puzzled, since most solvents do not
act as oils and vice versa. What exactly is kerosene, and what do you
use it for?
