Best Answer

Kerosene was first made in the early 1800's by distilling coal and oil shale. Oil refineries began manufacturing kerosene after crude oil became readily available during the mid-1800s. Kerosene distilled from crude oil quickly replaced other oil-lamp fuels, and kerosene lamps became the most common lighting source until electricity became widely available in the 1930s and 1940s. also it was the first original fuel for tractors and cars that were "petrol"
