I bought a 5 gallon kerosene can for $2 at a garage sale to use as steamer to try wood bending.
As a little extra bonus, there were 2 gallons of kerosene in the can; but I have a few questions about it.
1) It is blue! I've never seen blue kerosene before; is it something different? 2) It is probably old. Kerosene doesn't spoil does it? 3) There was a crack in the cap; not very big, but if it has been there for years there could have been some evaporation. In gasoline all the most volatile stuff would have evaporated, making it pretty useless; but would it matter for kerosene?
