	Kerosene Fuel Primer
		Kerosene does expand and contract slightly with ambient temperatures, so steel tanks should be vented or have some "head space" left in the tank.
		Kerosene heaters burn at 90% or greater efficiency and at 90% or greater maximum setting, so the "flame front" is just above the top of the wick and tar ball deposits build up more slowly.
		Using clear 1-K kerosene, the wick in a kerosene heater may only have to be "burned dry" once or twice a month, and it was common for wicks to last for a decade.

		She wrote or co-wrote eleven of the twelve singles on “Kerosene,” collaborating with one of her “Nashville Star” competitors (Travis Howard) on “Bring Me Down” and “Mama, I'm Alright.” Howard wrote “I Can't Be Bothered,” a two-stepping honky tonk tune that serves as an especially nice showcase for the steel and electric guitars.

	Kerosene Heater Wicks
		There are many manufacturers of kerosene wicks, such as the CUI brand which is popular in England and Canada.
		The alcohol burns at a higher temperature than kerosene, so red dye kerosene will burn cleaner with alcohol or "Wick Cleaner." If a fiberglass wick is saturated with water, it is best to remove the wick and wash it with alcohol (and air dry) before reinstallation in the appliance.
		If you are using red dye kerosene, using an eyedropper of alcohol every tank full will keep the wick from needing to be burned dry as often.
