Picture








Kerosene is believed to be the most practical fuel to store.  There are several reasons for this:

  • Kerosene is versatile - it can be used for heating, lighting and cooking.
  • Kerosene is an oil, not a volatile fuel, so it is much safer to store. It is not explosive.
  • Kerosene can be stored for many years without significant degradation.
  • Kerosene is readily available and can be purchased in volume at reasonable prices.
  • Kerosene is a dense store of energy - 1 gallon contains about 134,000 btus of energy (almost 50% more than a gallon of propane)
