answer:Actually, most fuel injector cleaners are basically just kerosene. You can essentially “run” your car on any hydrocarbon, including kerosene. The problem is compared to regular gasoline, kerosene is very low octane, and it would misfire/pre-ignite.. causing the car to run like crap (if it ran much at all). This would likely do a lot of damage to the engine, but unfortunately for humors sake… you probably wouldn’t have witnessed an explosion.
