Gas oil in a kero boiler

    I have a firebird 90 (I think)
    It's a condensing kero boiler, serviced regularly.

    I will soon have access to some free gas oil from a family member who is switching to a condensing (kero) boiler.

    Is it safe to add gas oil to my oil tank, I was thinking of adding 40L gas oil to every 700/800L kero

    Any thoughts ?

    In a word, no. Condensing boilers are not designed to run on gasoil

    in a nutshell no regardless of thinking that it might only be 5% mix

    If I had it and it was clean, I would make use of it. But like the rest of you, I would not advise a customer to use it under the circumstances described.

    The advice here is no. You could ask the the opinion of the person who regularly services your boiler.
