A portable kerosene heater is a great way to heat a small area or an area that doesn’t seem to get enough heat from the rest of the house. A portable Kerosene heater should only be run on 1-K grade kerosene. It is the cleanest grade of kerosene in terms of the pollutants released while burning, and it is only sold through certified kerosene dealers. Mixing kerosene with gasoline is potentially very dangerous so it is important to only use a kerosene container to store kerosene. Kerosene containers are generally blue while gasoline containers are red. Portable kerosene heaters use less energy and less fuel than other portable heaters. Although a portable kerosene heater is one of the most cost-effective ways to heat an area, it is important to follow all safety precautions when using them because of the potential dangers. For example, never refill the kerosene in the portable kerosene heater indoors. Take the portable kerosene heater outside and away from anything combustible before refilling it. Make sure the heater has not only been turned off, but given time to cool down before refueling. Finally, never fill the tank above the full line. The extra space is designed to give the fuel room to expand. Overfilling the tank can result in the kerosene leaking while the heater is running, which creates a serious fire hazard. Following these precautions will greatly reduce your risk of a fire. There are several portable kerosene heaters on the market to choose from.
