Default Kerosene -- is there a "stabil" for kerosene?

Emergenceis, lets say, occur only every 5 years. Or 10.

So, you want to store a bunch of kerosene for that
eventual emergency. But doesn't kerosene "go bad"
after a while?

What can you do so as to keep the kerosene "good"
for a LONG time?

Also, what do YOU do for keeping around the ability
to heat an area if and when the power goes out
for eg a week or so?


Thanks!

David


It keeps a long time. I have stored it over 2 years. My fuel oil in my
tank is 3 years old and still works good; don't use much. Burn wood.
