Yes, kerosene, 28sec oil, paraffin, jet fuel are all more or less the 
same. Some one has already re****ted running one on diesel (35sec oil). 

Provided you can get the oil to vapourise and the burning oil produced 
enouigh heat to keep up a supply of va****ised oil I reckon you could run 
it on anything from used veg oil or engine oil to kerosene/parafin. I 
wouldn't try petrol or camping stove fuel though...

Veg oil and used engine oil may well increase the need for more 
maintenance in keeping the thing clean. I doubt old engine oil would burn 
particulary cleanly. Used veg oil would have to be filtered before use.
