Kerosene has a lower viscosity than diesel. Therefore more kerosene than diesel would be sprayed out, if I had to guess 10-20% more. They both have the same heat content per gallon. It would be hotter as you are burning more fuel per hour.
You may have to fiddle a little with the air mixture a little to compensate for the different type of fuel.
That’s my best guess.
Kerosene does burn cleaner.
