Avtur is aviation turpentine- 99.9% pure kerosene, I used it for my kero heater at home when I was a RAAFIE, for the same reason, once its been in a tank and not used it s drained out- considered to be dirty. I would think that it would need the additives you've described!! Burns very cleanly with little smoke or smell but wouldn't like to hazard a guess what it's octane rating is?? Len
