kerosene

Kerosene is a type of liquid fuel derived from crude oil, commonly used for heating, cooking, and powering jet engines and small heating appliances. It has a medium boiling point, making it suitable for controlled combustion. Kerosene burns cleanly and efficiently, producing warmth and energy. Its versatility extends from household use in portable heaters to aviation fuel in aircraft engines. Because it is less volatile than gasoline, kerosene is considered safer to handle and store, though proper precautions are still necessary to prevent fire hazards.
