My father had a 34 Ford during WW2.Gas rationing was in effect.You got just enough gas to get to your job.He would add kerosene to the tank.We went to see his friend on a Sunday.The Ford went about 3 miles and stalled at a stop sign.Dad took out the spark plugs and cleaned them.There was a 1/2 inch of soot hanging from each plug.Before K1 kerosene came into use for heaters there was range oil that was ok in kerosene stoves and heaters.Didnt work well in kerosene lamps.My father in law sold kerosene for 8 cents a gallon during the depression.It would make more sense to keep the K1 for cleaning paint brushes and parts washing than wasting it on burning brush piles.It works fine in oil furnaces.I keep 5 gallons on hand for lamps and fuel for my oil furnace if I run low on #2 fuel.It costs 4 bucks a gallon here.Kerosene works fine as a penetrating oil.I have unloaded cordwood from my wood trailer by the light of a kerosene lantern.
