C1 Kerosene – What Are the Specifications?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BS 2869 Class C1 kerosene is a high smoke point, clean-burning kerosene with exceptionally low sulphur content. It is ideal for use in horticultural applications for the production of heat and carbon dioxide that is free from acidic combustion gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C1 kerosene is also suitable for use in space heaters\/jet blowers, wick-fed lamps, and as barbecue lighter fuel. Many fuel suppliers that offer premium-grade home heating oil ensure it meets C1 grade standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
