winter diesel is plain old diesel that has less oil in it to keep it from gelling in your fuel lines. all gas stations ahve it in cold ares there is just less oil in the diesel in the winter time. no kerosene is added becasue that would mess your injectors up casue kerosene is the scum and is alot heavier fuel.
Actually "winter diesel" is normally a blend of #2 diesel and some #1 diesel, which is similar (but not identical) to kero. My owners manual gives recommended ratios of #1 to #2 diesel depending on temperature but does not say anything about mixing in gasoline.
