The only reason that I know why kero is used instead of oil is because when the tank gets stored in an unheated area (outside), the oil will get very thick and wax-like in deep-cold while kero remains fluid. Gooey thick cold oil will clog up the tiny spritzer hole in the nozzle and cause a shut-down. Sometimes, kero get mixed with oil 50/50 to keep it fluid and usable in the deep-freeze. As long as the tank is stored in a somewhat heated space, then oil is very good and costs less.
A Toyo or a Toyotomi can out-perform a Monitor, any day of the week, and twice on Sundays!
