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?

Thanks!

Hello David,

I've kept kerosene (in a sealed metal tin stored in a tin shed) for
over 10 years, and it still works fine in my kerosene lamps and
kerosene heaters.

I'd say it is pretty stable just naturally.
