Following the increasing demand for kerosene, the Energy Ministry is contemplating to introduce aviation fuel to the market instead, if it is required, the Ministry said.

Ministry Secretary K. D. R. Olga said that there is no change in the composition of kerosene and aviation fuel and there was no risk of using aviation fuel as a substitute for kerosene.

She said aviation fuel had been released to the market on several occasions earlier when the kerosene requirement could not meet the demand.

To convert aviation fuel to kerosene, all we have to do is add colour and odour, she added. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

If there is no difference between Aviation Fuel and Kerosene, why is Olga suggesting converting Aviation Fuel to Kerosene ?

Why are you so ignorant?

Energy minister please explain the aviation fuel definition??? Aviation fuel density and temperature are various??

Aviation Fuel highly inflammable than Kerosene, it will lead to another disaster

So, CPC is not selling much jet fuel due to reduced flights (same as kerosene containing a dye). A big announcement to get rid of surplus stocks. Who are you kidding Minister G?

So why don't they use kerosene for jets?

People can start flying now. They do it on the roads anyway, so this will be an added booster. Do you not have rocket fuel. You should have , one son of Rajapaksha was planning to go to moon or Mars. So they may have excess rocket fuel too.

Another bugger with kerosene oil in his brain?

Very soon gas cookers will start to fly.

Probably some people are having private jets in their homes. So they could re fuel at home it self.
