How Do You Find Local Fueling Stations That Sell Kerosene?
Kerosene fuel is commonly sold at hardware stores, gas stations, and auto repair shops. It can be sold either pre-packaged or in bulk. Fueling stations that sell kerosene can be found using online locators or in the yellow pages. Some fuel providers, such as Sunoco, provide online location directories.
Kerosene is a heating fuel made from the distillation of petroleum. It is used today for both jet engines and household heating. It is less flammable than gasoline, and is sold in blue containers instead of red gasoline containers. It is also regulated and sold differently than gasoline, which means that gas stations that sell gasoline will not necessarily sell kerosene.
When buying kerosene, be sure to only purchase from dealers that sell state certified 1-K grade kerosene. Kerosene that is not labeled 1-K can be unstable and unsafe. Keep kerosene in a separate container from other types of fuel such as gasoline.
Store kerosene only in new, sealed blue kerosene containers. Using other containers, such as metal, glass, or used containers can result in contamination of the kerosene or harm to those who handle the containers. If storing kerosene, ensure that the containers are well sealed. Kerosene can be stored for between one to three months, and should not be stored for lengthy amounts of time, as old kerosene can harm heating units.
