This article is very confusing, when seen in the perspective of the kerosene (disambiguation) and the article on kerosene used for lighting. If these are distinct concepts, the descriptions should give chemical formulas and performance characteristics to pinpoint the differences. Google for "kerosene tractor" and you will find lots of models from the 1920s having iron wheels, as opposed to the post-war (1950s) Fergusons with rubber wheels, which are generally not referred to as kerosene tractors. This article talks about the production of paraffin, but doesn't explain what the difference between lighting kerosene and the tractor fuel is. --LA2 03:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No the Fergusons aren't referred to as kerosene tractors but TVO's, petrol or diesel. This article was written from a British standpoint and in BE paraffin is used in preference to Kerosene so perhaps that's were the problem lies. GraemeLeggett

Perhaps TVO and Kerosene should still be merged into one article, since some uses of English (the American) uses the same word for both varieties of the fuel. The current total separation, where Kerosene doesn't mention tractor fuel at all is confusing. --LA2 09:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But TVO is not equal to paraffin (kerosene) it's kerosene with added hydrocarbon elements. I've added TVO as a see also at the bottom of the kerosene entry.GraemeLeggett 11:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is very difficult to give a clear explanation because the words "paraffin" and "kerosene" have different meanings in different countries and in different contexts. I find this article [1] very helpful. Biscuittin (talk) 21:02, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
