During a recent Ice Storm, I was unable to find clear K-1 Kerosene for a week or so. For about 3 or 4 days I burned diesel in my space heater in the shop. It did fine and there was no appreciable smoke or smell. Gradually, the flame would not burn as high and after the storm I was able to get kerosene again. The kerosene I purchased is colored red and although I have cleaned the wick by burning it dry several times and brushing it, the flame remains low. The wick appears soft and clean, but something is certainly wrong. Has anyone experienced this?
