Hi, the reason i am posting this thread in this forum is because alot of you know very much about refrigerator and ac compressors.

Here is my dillema. I have built a small gas turbine engine out of automotive parts (turbo charger) and I currently use propane as a fuel because it is already in a gaseous state at stp. I now wish to move to kerosene (cheaper and more adequate for the job) but the liquid needs to be pressurised so it can be shot out of the fuel nozzles as a gassous substance.

Now i have been looking at refrigerator compressors and i know that they compress freon to form a hot liquid. Could I use it to compress kerosene?

Thank you very much for any help
