Diggers Kerosene is blue kero for heaters, lamps and blow lamps that also degreases engines and starts wood fires, in 20 L drums (minimum 4).

What it does

This is a light, oily cut from crude oil refining. Diggers sells this blue grade first as fuel for kero heaters, lamps and blow lamps, and second as a solvent: it softens grease and oil on engine parts and, a few drops at a time in water, lifts grime from baths and sinks. It dries slowly, so it keeps working on a greasy part for longer. It has a mild smell and will not mix with water.

Where to use it

Homes, farms, camps and workshops: kero heaters and lamps, blow lamps, wood fires, engine bays and greasy parts, and bathroom tubs and basins. More fuels and cleaners sit in our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

1. Fuel: follow the heater or lamp maker's procedure, and refill once the flame is out and the burner is cold.
2. Fire starter: wet the kindling lightly, give it a few minutes to soak in, then light.
3. Bath and sink cleaner: a few drops in a bucket of water, wipe on, rinse with warm water.
4. Degreasing: brush onto the part, let the grime soften, wipe off and dry.

Safe on / avoid

Works on metal engine parts, enamel baths and ceramic basins. Diggers says to keep it off glass and never to use it on a barbecue, where it leaves a chemical taste. The SDS says to store it away from aerosols and corrosives as well as oxidants. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
