Kerosene will burn effectively at an air/fuel ratio of
- 150:1.
- 15:1.
- 45:1.
Explanation from PART66Online
For efficient combustion kerosene must burn close to its stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, which is approximately 15:1 by mass. Although the overall engine air/fuel ratio is far weaker (around 60:1 or more), the air is split so that the primary combustion zone is kept near this 15:1 chemically correct ratio.
