Heating, Lighting & CookingHistorically, kerosene was used as a source of light in oil lamps and lanterns, but this was a huge fire hazard and in 1880, almost 2 out of every 5 New York fires were caused by faulty kero lamps. Many backpackers and underdeveloped countries, such as Nigeria and India, still use kerosene in lamps and liquid stoves today, where it’s sold in some petrol stations. The Amish tend to stay away from using electricity, so they often rely on kerosene for lighting during the night too. In Japan, kerosene is used as a home heating fuel for installed and portable heaters. It can be purchased at any fuel station or be delivered to homes. Today, in England, kerosene is often used as a heating fuel in remote areas that are not connected to the national grid. |
Cleaning AgentKerosene can be used as a cleaning liquid, on bike chains and rims to remove lubricants. |
Jet engine fuelMore recently, kerosene is commonly used as aviation fuel; it’s less prone to freezing, it doesn’t burn too quickly at high temperatures and it’s highly combustible – meaning it’s perfectly suited to the demands of a plane. |
