Kerosene is an oil, pretty much the same thing as desial. If you ever get a chance to stop at a big truck stop, usaly in ruarl area's you will see it labled at the pumps as #1 desial fuel, were normal desial fuel is #2 desial fuel.
Slight correction here, Kerosene and #1 diesel are close but not quite the same thing. The primary difference between #1 diesel and #2 diesel is #2 has parrafin in it. #1 diesel is primairly sold when/where it's cold, as the parrafin in #2 will solidify into wax and gum up a diesel motor's injector system.
As far as burning diesel fuel/kerosene/jet fuel in a gas motor, the problem comes from the preingition you get on the compression stroke. With gas, combustion takes place as the piston is nearing the end of the compression stroke, with diesel fuel it will happen well before that point as diesel fuel doesn't need the sparkplug to ignite. This places tremendous stress on the motor as it's trying to compress a fuel mixture that's rapidly expanding as it burns, and will commonly result in the kinds of piston damage shown in Kermitov's picture.
