I heat my shop with a bullet style kerosene heater and unfortunately they keep plowing under the older gas stations and building shiny Wawa's and Lukoils in their place. Problem is none of the new shiny stores sell kero.
Some old-timers say that I can run diesel in my heater... They say it's the same stuff.
Anyone here a fuel expert?
Is Diesel the same stuff as kerosene?
I've seen K-1 in both red and clear.
I've seen K-1 in "not low sulfer - could contain greater than 500 ppm sulfur) and unspecified
I've seen diesel in "low sulfur" (less than 15ppm) and unspecified.
Used to be easy... Kero was cheaper than gasoline and was available at every corner station. Now it's more than a gallon of gas and I've got to drive ten miles just to get a can full.
