I have about 3 gallons or so of very old kerosene (seriously, this stuff is at least a decade old if not more) in my garage in a thick walled plastic container (which was designed for and designated for kerosene). I used some of it years ago in a kerosene heater but haven't touched it since. I did put diesel fuel preservative (PRI-D) into it immediately after purchasing it way back when. Is this stuff any good any more? Would it still be safe to use inside the house in a kerosene heater? Do any of you having experience using kerosene that old?
Since summer has basically begun in north Alabama, where I live, I certainly don't need it for heating anytime soon. However, I might use it for cooking in a kerosene stove.
Nevertheless, I thought I'd ask about other experiences with old kerosene. Come to think of it, diesel fuel is quite similar to kerosene in many respects, so any experiences you have with old diesel might apply here as well.
