A little OT, but what is kerosene selling for in your area?

[litefoot]

Wondering if it's as bad as UT. I'm considering Jet A fuel from the airport. This does concern home heating...I use wood and K1.

If you are using this fuel for residential heating, why not just go with #2 offroad diesel. it is cheaper than K1 that's for sure.. it is pretty much the same as home heating oil. I have looked around in my area and Kero is alot more expensive than #2.

FWIW, I happen notice it was $4.99 at a station in CT this morning.

real close to 5 a gallon around here, if not it fluctuates down to 4.80- then back up to 499-5 on weekends.

Average 3.99 a gallon in Cleveland...what is it in UT?

I supplement with K1 also and we bought a little at a time throughout the summer...stored in 55gal barrels we should have enough to get through winter I'm hoping !

4.25 here hasnt moved in 3 months i burn it in my truck if its cheaper than diesel its k1 clear burns extremly hot we checked the cetane its 75

 

[fletcher0780]

diesel #2 is about $4.50
kero #1 is about $4.19

I use to run kero in my diesel rabbit because it was 30 cents cheaper.

You know, I'm really considering Jet A. I've heard that it's even more refined than #1. Is that true? Why then, do the kerosene heater instructions say K1 ONLY? Jet A is about $5/gal.

Hold on to you hat for this one. Two different places I checked have the #1 at nearly $10/gal!!! Hence my keen interest in Jet A.

Yeeouch:jawdrop: !! Is that at the pump?!?! Around here you pay about $10gal at a hardware store but at the pump you can get it at 3.99gal.

That's a 55 gal barrel.
Better news, though. I was wondering if this was a regional thing or if I'm dealing with local petro-rapists. So I called a oil company in SLC who told me they'd deliver a 55 gal drum to my home for $290 + $30 for the drum. That's still $5.80/gal for the first drum...but better than the local alternative. The Jet A at the airport is $5.03.

Do you have anywhere nearby where you could pump your own? I bought some 55 gallon plastic barrels for 10 bucks apiece and load them on the truck and then fill them at the gas station. $220 to fill a barrel.

Good luck in your search...I hope it pays off in the end.

If you are going to use turbine fuel(jet-a) you want it without the a.The a in jet-a is for an anti-icing additive,you can purchase regular turbine fuel without the additive in it.All turbine fuel is is a super refined kerosene.You don't want to get caught putting kerosene in your diesel trucks because it is untaxed fuel(no road tax on it)

Wow, good info tanker. I appreciate that!
