Let me ask the dumb question,
where do you buy kerosene? I would think Ace or Home Depot, as they
sell the kerosene heaters. Is that right? And is kerosene a good
cleaner?


At paint stores and the paint aisle at big-boxes at an insane retail
markup. Or WD-40 if you like it perfumed.

Diesel fuel is close enough for degreasing applications.

Filling stations sell it from pumps in rural, cold climates for heaters.



K1 is right at $6 a gallon here. From the bulk plant.

Ive had to change my shop heat over to propane because of the cost and
live with the increased humitidy

off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
