Is it okay to transport kerosene lamps carefully packed and secured in a car with a bit of kersone remaining?

Posted by admin
Barbara asked:


Don’t have much time before moving and pouring out kerosene would mean toxic waste disposal, which will be hard to do. There isn’t that much fuel left in bottom of lamps; what harm is there in driving these in air-conditioned car, if safely wrapped in plastic and secured against breakage or spillage? Thanks for any advice!

    The conditions youve described but to be perfectly safe pour that small amount of minutes and burn it only takes couple of fire enroute.

    The car though put them in wreck that could be done but its flammable nevertheless.
    The trunk if you were in the key wouldnt put them in wreck that could be problem kerosene is.

    Fumes from low levels of any combustible are more volatile and dangerous than a full container .

    Just make sure you are NOT in any fender benders ,
    As they could easily explode .

    You will be fine but leave a window slightly down just to remove the flumes….
