as such, not much use for fuel - except for lighting stuff, or use in camp stoves, "gas lamps" or "oil lamps" are often kerosene. Not much use in engines.
Over here, paraffin is used as a terrible performance laxative that makes your anus seep. You know there's different forms of paraffin, right? You have kerosene, the laxative or fuel, and paraffin wax.
Don't worry, I know of paraffin in distillation. In the UK, they teach that as soon as you hit Year 9, which is about 13 or 14 years old. I just didn't know that was the alternative name.
S'alright. The last relevant stuff I did was the optional higher level Organic Chemistry module at International Baccalaureate. Decided to try going off the beaten A Level track to secure my place at medical school . But no, I can't say I know an awful lot about paraffin really, except treating toxicity in humans and storing alkali metals in laboratories.... only that the yanks call it kerosene!
Cool cool cool. I did Forensics and studies on post-mortem examination, so I can only say how kerosene is used as a potent and potentially toxic laxative. I can tell how it kills a man, but not much else.
