Most successful oil users heat the thick oil and switch to it when it's at desired temp.

Kerosene is in the same chemical family but was not as widespread in Europe as in the US.
In the 1950's Owner's manual for the 190D (OM621 engine), Mercedes approves of thinning the diesel fuel of the time with up to 10% gasoline, selectively in 5 gallon increments. It guards against using premium gas because the additives in it (specifically, vanadium) attack the fuel injection system. But diluting with RUG is ok.
