I remember once upon a time on Aug 14th when the province of Ontario and several north eastern states where sitting in the dark wondering what happened for several days. Keep the kerosene,heater and purchase a couple of 1" wick hurricane lamps and a Aladdin mantel lamp from Lehman's non electric catalogue. Next outage in the winter it will be your turn to laugh. The lamps make enough heat to keep a small room from freezing for a while too. Sealed kerosene kept in a dark cool place will outlast any of us on the board.

It depends. If you kept it in the dark, and in a clean container, 5 years would be about it. If however, it was exposed quite regularily to sunlight, a year would be about the limit.

Those heaters require clean kerosene otherwise they stink.

Dan, unlike gasoline, I would expect the kerosine to still be good as new. alvinms
