What is kerosene?

Kerosene is a fast burning and easily ignitable hydrocarbon fluid used for fuel in heating systems. The word kerosene was trademarked by the North American Gas Light Company in 1854.

This meant they were the only company allowed to use the word kerosene commercially. However, it has since been given a generic trademark and anybody can use this term to describe heating oil and paraffin.

Kerosene is more commonly known as paraffin oil in the UK. It can be purchased in small quantities right through to large, bulk orders of 36,000 litres plus. The colour of kerosene varies on its type, but normal kerosene oil (28-second burning oil) will generally be a clear, yellow shade.

What is kerosene used for?

Kerosene oil is used for home heating and industrial procedures needing low sulphur fuel. Its clean burn characteristics maintain a high heat output at cheaper costs, which makes it ideal for your central heating needs.

Kerosene prices in 2020

The price of kerosene can be very cheap when used as a heating oil and depending on when you order it. That’s why it’s the preferred domestic heating oil in the UK, being used in an estimated 1.5 million homes.

Kerosene as jet fuel, however, is of a significant quality and can be costly due to the stringent testing and safety guidelines which are associated with its manufacture.

Used as a trusted cleaning agent, kerosene can also work out as a very cheap alternative (price per litre) to buying specialist cleaning products.

As nationwide kerosene suppliers, if you require fuel in an emergency, Speedy Fuels can supply you with heating oil in a matter of hours to anywhere in the UK.

How can I get the best kerosene prices?

Kerosene prices follow the trend of crude oil barrel prices. So when the price per barrel of crude oil is stable, the price of kerosene is also stable, but you will generally find that the prices peak during the winter period as demand rises.

It may seem odd to suggest thinking about heating your home in the middle of summer and early into autumn, but these generally are the best times to forward plan your kerosene requirements for the colder, winter months.

Although none of us can forward plan how much we will rely on our central heating to keep our homes warm during the winter months. Any excess kerosene you may have after winter when the summer months role around again can be safely stored for the following winter.

As so, it makes a lot of sense to have that peace of mind and ensure your kerosene storage tanks are kept full in preparation for the winter months. This has the double benefit of also allowing you to take advantage of bulk purchase discounts on your kerosene order, especially if your storage tanks are running low.

Check today how much kerosene you can safely store in your storage tank and give our team a call today on 0330 123 5665 to see how we can help you.
