You know if you were Jewish you could just pour a little bit in your
lamp and it would burn for 9 nights! A little known benefit!

That'll be dyed fuel, can't use it in wick lamps although it'll burn fine in a
pressure appliance like a Colman lamp or lantern.
I need to check if the Jet A is dyed but at $4/gal I doubt it.

You buy kerosene at the hardware store?
It's 3.599, taxes included, at the Charlotte Speedway station.

I bought some "Ultra Pure Lamp Oil" to use in my Aladdin lamps in the house
since it doesn't smell like straight kerosene does. It burns good but its
expensive and freezes sold at around 45F. I put mixed it 50:50 with kerosene
and found the smell is still gone and it doesn't freeze at least down to 4F
we've had so far this winter. Interestingly I had another test bottle with 25%
kero and it froze hard at around 35F. I want to experiment with more kero
since the lamp oil is $19/3quarts and kerosene at the hardware store is
$8/gal.Actually the next step is to try Jet A. A friend gave me a few gallons,
it burns great in kerosene Colman equipment and I've been told its good in
wick lamps but I haven't tried it yet. Smells like machine oil, none of the
sulphur smell of kero but not quite like diesel either.
