it depends
Kerosene does 'spoil' because bacteria will begin to break it down. Water speeds up the digestion. The process produces a plaque that will clog jets in an injector system and will produce acids that will corrode metal components in the heater. If you have large quantities of old kerosene, you can rescue it by filtering it to remove the bacterial plaque. For small quantities, it isn't worth the hassle--use it to burn out stumps. See the link for Sta-Bil, a product that can stabilize fuel.

Are space heaters dangerous?
There are lots of different kinds of space heaters. Most of them can cause injuries because they do get very hot, which can cause burns, especially if young kids are unsupervised. The old heaters with exposed heating elements should be avoided always. Kerosene heaters usually present problems because the users did not read or follow the instructions for use. The best kind of space heaters are the ceramic heaters, which are best for smaller spaces. They do get hot, but cool rather quickly. Read about them here: http://ceramicheaters.org/ Keep in mind that space heaters are not in and of themselves dangerous; it's the users that cause the problems. Safety is all about caution and common sense.
