Yes, but do the following first. Drain all the old kerosene out and discard safely. Check the burner or wick assembly for any damage. If you have a Kero-sun type or any type with an electric ignition by all means take out the old batteries and replace with new. Now fill your heater with fresh kerosene, just a little at first, take the heater outside, and give it a start. If it ignites well let it run for about 5 minutes and turn off, and then after it cools fill it up as you would normally. Be careful and use it well ventilated spaces.

How do I stop my gas fireplace from smelling like kerosene?
If you gas fire smells it is VERY IMPORTANT that you stop using it immediately and that you get a professional, qualified gas fire engineer to come and service it and check the flue. The reason for this is that a faulty fire can produce a gas called Carbon Monoxide (CO) which you can not smell or taste. This gas will kill you and is responsible for may "faulty fire" related deaths a year. The fact that you can smell kerosene from the fire indicates that fumes are leaking back into your living area and the likelihood is that CO is too. STOP USING THE FIRE!
