John DiStefano Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hello Builders, Not to fan the flames of what has turned out to be a very hot topic...(pardon the puns) . But I bought a kerosene heater to warm my workshop.. I also have 2 Propane radiant heaters as well. I really like this kerosene heater (28,000 BTU's). Here is the problem though.. In this part of Jersey it is very difficult to find 1 - K grade kerosene. I did find it at my local hardware store, but it cost $12 for a 2.5 gallon container. This 1-K stuff burns very clean, low odor as well. I am tempted to just try diesel from the local gas station. Has anyone tried this yet? <I put the same post up on the Cozy list> BTW, I really like this format. I work for Continental Express and the pilot group uses the same forum.... Thanks John DiStefano #1120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargePrime Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Home heating oil and diesel #1 are the same thing. The IRS dyes the road fuel so it is a different color. Jet A is the same thing but everyone will tell you it is not. The cheapest is home heating oil. Quote We know who you are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
