Just like liquid laundry detergent with water in it as carrier, using kerosene variants in FI cleaner is in form of carrier, that's it. Again, just like water in laundry detergent: it doesn't not instantly imply that water is going to perform the same kind of cleaning to your soiled clothes like detergent dies (and neither does containing kerosene in FI cleaner implies that it kero will clean your injectors).
Again, treat this with caution for with ever so stringent EPA mandates, etc. to keep fossel fueled automobiles pollution under control, adding something other than formulated automobile pump grade gasoline into your OBD-II vehicle may throw the computer out of wack, causing all sorts of difficulties, errors, etc. (again, totally dependent on how sensitive your systems are).
That's why all these crazy ideas such as adding WD40 into gas tank, running kero through your gas, etc. only floats around the internet and rarely do you see a proper mechanic takes these tricks seriously.
***personally, I'm indifferent about these tricks...***
My 2c's worth. YMMV and the consequences of burning out/error out your OBD-II system is all yours, not mine.
