You can count on Fredericks Fuel for the kerosene you need

As the weather starts warming up here in Northern New Jersey you may find yourself planning some fun outdoor activities and thinking of different ways to be outside. Some of these activities and plans may require a reliable fuel source and kerosene may just be the solution.

What can kerosene be used for?

Years and year ago, kerosene was commonly used for cooking purposes and to power lamps. It became less popular once electricity, heating oil, natural gas and propane gas were introduced.

That being said, kerosene is and can be used in RVs, mobile homes and homes that have exterior oil tanks to provide heat. It can also provide power to certain modern day appliances, including oil lamps and cooking equipment.

Kerosene can also be used as a solvent and lubricant within certain commercial industries. It can also fuel rockets and jets.

Kerosene happens to be a great option for anyone who likes to camp and is in need of a fuel source while they are spending time outdoors.

Fredericks Fuel will tell you why.

Reasons to use kerosene for outdoor and camping activities

Here is a look at the benefits of using kerosene as your fuel source while you are camping and doing other outdoor activities that require power:

• The chances of kerosene igniting and creating a fire are lower than some of the alternatives since it has a high flash point. This makes it a little safer to use while camping and being outside near trees, leaves and branches.
• Compared to standard gasoline, kerosene is typically more affordable.
• Using kerosene compared to other energy sources lowers your exposure to harmful and dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This makes it safer for both indoor and outdoor use.
• When you’re camping or spending an extended amount of time outdoors in some other way, you do need to be environmentally conscious. Kerosene checks this box since it produces fewer fumes than both coal and wood. It also emits a smaller amount of greenhouse gas compared to multiple other fossil fuels. This helps decrease a carbon footprint.
• If you are looking for a fuel that you can store in your RV for a long period of time or for a fuel that you only use every once in a while when you finally do go on a camping trip, kerosene should be taken into consideration. Kerosene has an impressively long shelf life and is not as likely to spoil as other fuels are.
• Kerosene has a very low risk of freezing. It actually only freezes or “gels” at around -40 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that you can count on it no matter how cold it gets on your outdoor adventure.
• As we mentioned earlier, kerosene can be used for heating, cooking and powering lights. This versatility makes it convenient when you’re out and about and on the go – you have one fuel that can tackle multiple different jobs.
