I will not have a problem with the pumps complaining (my stove is gravity fed), then main problem with running kerosene in a diesel engine is that you don't have as much lubrication in the cylinders, but this is a diesel cookstove/oven, I am not debateing whether to have propane or diesel....I will be able to keep my two burner propane cook top. This is what my diesel stove looks like, I have been told that kerosene *will* work and is actally better, I just wanted a second opinion and to find out some of the fine points....like carborator, fuel consumtion, etc...
