I have the same model kerosene heater. Works great but
I'm not happy with the fact that kerosene is $7 a
gallon here (in bulk.....$10 for gallon cans at Home
Depot) soooo.... I have a friend that claims he burns
jet fuel in his. He lives next to an airport and says
he buys "outdated" fuel cheap, and it works fine. I am
leary of trying jet fuel, anybody had any experience
with it in a heater???
