If your kerosene heater has a wicker which will carry the fuel additive (kerosene or oil) up towards the flame then you may put oil. However, if the heater works on hydrocaron compression-combustion priciple, then oil may not work as a fuel additive
The only time you should place kerosene in a heating system is if it is designed for kerosene.
What is the easiest method of removal of Aromatic compounds in Kerosene Oil?
I am out of oil with a delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I went out to the shed to get a 5 gallon can and found a 5 gallon kerosene can filled. I have no smell therefore can not tell if the clear liquid is kerosene or gasoline. I hate to throw it away if it is kerosene, I could burn it in the heater
yes If it's a space heater - don't use diesel if it's dyed.
Drain the kerosene out and depending where the kerosene was put :If in the flue tank refill with gas :If in the oil reservoir refill with sea 30 w oil :If two stroke motor mix 2 cycle oil with flue and refill tank. Hope this helps.
No, it is not okay to put your oil central heating boiler outside. It should be in an enclosed area.
A diesel engine will run fine on kerosene. If you are going to run it on kerosene for an extended amount of time you might want to put some lubricant additive in with it. Winter diesel is various blends of diesel and kerosene.In the UK you may wish to think about the tax implications,road fuel carries a higher duty and using kerosene(domestic heating oil) in a vehicle would be tax evasion.
Contact a local residential heating oil supplier in your area. Websites for heating oil distributors should offer you a price quote on the current cost of home heating oil. A residential heating oil supplier will deliver directly to your home and usually offer emergency heating oil delivery if your tank is completely empty.
I just had a service technician clean my burner in preparation for the winter. I showed him a product I had purchased at Home Depot called Hercules fuel oil sludge treat. It comes in a one quart container and you put a pint in for a 275 gallon tank just before a delivery. The technician said you would be better off adding one gallon of kerosene prior to the delivery. The kerosene burns hotter and is a higher grade of fuel than home heating oil. He said it would probably do a better job than the sludge treatment product and costs less.
I have made candles using paraffin wax. Paraffin oil is kerosene.
#1 diesel at the local truck stop on the "off road" pump. Try the closest COOP. Don't pay the highway taxes if you can avoid it. Kerosene will cost you more but can be used also. Fuel oil is just red dyed #1 fuel oil. lc
Yes, it has to be stored in kerosene oil or it will catch fire.
