Kerosene heat; WB question

[mbyrd (Mike R. Byrd)]

I have a job this week where MLS says “kersone” as type of heat fuel. What am i looking for here?

Also, says, “wood burning stove attached to heating system” -

any words of wisdom before i inspect this property are much appreciated. as always. thanks.

It may be an outdoor “oil” tank which would required #1 fuel oil or Kerosene so it won’t gel in cold temps.
I personally would defer the add-on wood burner unless you are qualified to inspect it and charge accordingly.

Here are a few sites with kerosene wall furnaces which are common in some areas:

I’d be telling the purchaser to check and see if they can get insurance on the home considering the heat source.
