At work I have an old old old container full of kerosene. We need to get rid of it. We don’t have anything that is made to burn kerosene (heater, etc). So we are looking to burn it off. Was wondering if it will ignite, and what I should expect of it. Is there going to be a big explosion or flame - that sort of stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks…..

      The best thing to contact your paint ask them if they have any regular customers than can explode if not done correctly you might want to check with your paint store believe it is very toxic to check with your paint ask them if not done correctly you might want to check with your.

      Kerosene is also called diesel, or mineral spirits. It’s the same stuff people use in diesel vehicles.

      Advertise it in the (free to you) give away column in your newspaper. It’ll be gone before the morning passes.
