Re: Diesel Gelling in Cold Weather

for anyone reading the thread, I did just see a kerosene pump in a low cost state. It should be about as cheap as kerosene gets.

$6.99/gal

Re: Diesel Gelling in Cold Weather

K-1 is very pure kerosene, with low sulfur content, and is most commonly used. K-1 is intended for use in space heaters, and lamps.
K-2 can have as much as 10 times more sulfur. K-2 is intended to be burned in heaters that have an external flue, to remove the exhaust from the room.
The fewer the impurities in the fuel, the cleaner it will burn.

Home Depot sells K-1, for about $10.79 per gallon.
