Gasoline and kerosene should be stored in well-ventilated areas away from living spaces and any ignition sources such as open flames or electrical appliances. It is best to store them in approved, tightly sealed containers specifically designed for flammable liquids. Keep them in a cool, dry place and ensure they are out of reach of children and pets.

Can you put kerosene in a home heating oil system?

How did people discover gasoline?
When the petroleum industry started, the desired product was kerosene for home lighting lamps. Before the modern crude oil refinery was developed, oil was boiled and distilled in a single stage distillation similar to wiskey stills. Gasoline was the fraction that came off first and since the automobile had not yet been developed, there was no use for the gasoline. Gasoline was a waste product and was thrown out or burned to make more kerosene.
Can kerosene be used as home heating fuel?

Can you use diesel in place of k1 kerosene?
Typically cars either burn gasoline or diesel fuel if the engines are equipped to burn that. Kerosene is normally not used in a diesel but it will function in an emergency just as well as diesel fuel except that the injection parts will not receive much lubrication. But it will get you home in a pinch. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a wick type kerosene heater then no. Diesel fuel will smoke and stink compared to kerosene. If your question is can you use #2 diesel in a kerosene heater that is like a salamander, then maybe. I use #2 diesel in my salamander and it works fine and heats my garage up ok. Kerosene does burn cleaner though.
Where should batteries be stored in the home?
