What temp does kerosene burn at?
I know there are variables involved. But some basics would be helpful. Or deisel fuel for that matter might be a better question to ask on here, but I think they are about the same. Please educate me.

EDIT: Oh, I should have written that more clearly, not what temp does it ignite, but while it is burning, what temperatures can it produce?

Somewhere around 1085 K or 811 C for the highest flame temp.

Excellent article.
Now I am wondering how hot it can get by tuning the air/fuel mixture.
I've searched around a bit and haven't come up with it yet. Figure I'll fiind it sooner with some help.
Thanks.

No, not going to run kerosene in the Z...Engineer at work, working with something that burns jet fuel, asking me if I knew what temp., so figured I'd ask around.
