We have a new kerosene heater, is it alright to use the kerosene that one already has?

I have been using an upstanding kerosene heater. Due to the warm weather here in NC, I have not had a chance to crank it up. But I have recently purchased a new duplex top kerosene heater. I have some left over kerosene from last winter and was wondering if it would alright to use the kerosene that I have on care nearby or would it be prudent to go and get some new or have some new mixed in with the old?

I would like some answers ASAP for a winter turbulence warning is in effect for tomorrow in my area. Gratefulness you all.


Please keep in brain -- there is the danger of Carbon Monoxide poisoning with ANY forthright flame combustion.

Pay attention to the warnings on the packaging and on the segment.

Open flame space heaters, such as a kerosene heater, dire to be used in a WELL VENTILATED space. A HEADACHE, or tenderness of drowsiness are among the FIRST SYMPTOMS of overexposure to CO. Carbon Monoxide is masked, and odorless.... Please do not operate this unit without a CO detector in the dwelling. It could save your life.

With the recent power outages across Missouri, many people were using manageable generators. One family had a generator in their garage. The partner went out to fill the tank... and was dead before she reached the generator... that is how quick CO in an enclosed space can kill.

Interestingly -- Most manufactured relaxed builders will VOID your warranty, if you use a Kerosene heater in a mobile or modular tellingly.

As to the kerosene you mention, any flammable liquid can absorb hose (most often by condensation inside the container), and this will cause the fuel to flare less efficiently, and to smoke more. My personal solution to this, would be to set the heater Facing, and burn the old fuel up. Then start with some fresh nourishment...again.... burning it for a while OUTSIDE, to make confident the old fuel had been completely consumed. Naturally, you necessitate to do this in a safe location.

I personally prefer to use stimulating space heaters (ceramic, or oil-contained - phosphorescent) and a generator. The generator can also help power your refrigerator, and/or some lights, depending on it's judge. I place the generator OUTSIDE the home, and run a very difficult duty extension cord to inside the house. This keeps my family warm, with lights, and shielded from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Be Safe (and genuine luck with the storm)

how do you get rid of the smell from a kerosene heater?

when using oure kerosene heater it puts off a bouquet. is there anyway to get rid of the smell the heater is only 2 weeks old ?


They turn a kerosene oil additive that works really well. It keeps it from smelling as obstinate and creates less soot. Sorry but I cannot remember the name of it. It comes in secondary bottles and is near the kerosene stuff at hardware stores. You add something like 8oz to every gallon amiable of thing. Good luck...

Can anyone tell me where I can find info on replacing a wick in a Kerosene Heater?

I have a Corona 17-DK Kerosene Heater and necessity to replace the wick in it but have no idea how to do this. Does anyone have a website that can aide me with a step by step process?


email: keith@coronapartsusa.com

Web: http://www.coronapartsusa.com/.

From unfriendly experience, I remember that it's not a difficult modify. Mine wasn't a Corona, but it involved two lesser screws. It can be a little dirty, so gloves might be in classify. These wicks last quite a long time if one is fastidious not to light it when it's dry or raise t to the point where it's throwing soot. Meet luck and Merry Christmas.

looking for help with small kerosene heater problems, help?

i have a petty kerosene heater that only burns on the back of the wick. what can i do to get it to burn peoperly?


You want a new wick. The front of the wick is not drawing fuel since it is grunged up with carbon and deposits from old kerosene.

This could labour. If you can remove the wick without damaging it, remove as much kero as conceivable, place it in a glass jar, cover with water and add three teaspoons of sodium carbonate (washing soda). Bicarbonate (baking soda) is ineffectual. Place the jar in a pan of water on the stove and sizzle the jar for 25-30 minutes. Cool, pour out the obscene water and repeat. Rinse with warm adulterate and dry the wick very thoroughly. Replace. This works on old kerosene lamp wicks and burners but I have not tried it on a heater wick.

When finished with the heater for the period, remove the kerosene from the heater tank.
