Wax is heavier than diesel or motor oil and burns with a wick.
The differences from heavy oils to light is the ignition temperature and the A/F ratio,
If you can figure a way of starting on kerosene and then running on a diesel/oil mix you should be fine. From what I remember diesel and motor oil don't "wick" very well (aka you would run out of fuel)
But I guess what do you have to loose? A wick and the irritation of cleaning it out?
