Pretty close to the same stuff - Odor will be a bit stronger. Must be an
awfully small airport - mot have it in the Big tanks - I have not heard of
outdated fuel, but I guess it's possible - I have seen water or contaminated
fuel.
Try it and see - it won't harm the heater.

Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] 55k btu radiant kerosene heater?
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he buys "outdated" fuel cheap, and it works fine.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???
