View Full TextKerosene is less volatile than gasoline. Its flash point (the temperature at which it will generate a flammable vapor near its surface) is 38°C (100°F) or higher, whereas that of gasoline is as low as −40°C (−40°F). This property makes kerosene a relatively safe fuel to store and handle.
With a boiling point between about 150 and 300 °C (300–575°F), kerosene is considered to be one of the so-called middle distillates of crude oil, along with diesel fuel. It can be produced as “straight-run kerosene,” separated physically from the other crude oil fractions by distillation, or it can be produced as “cracked kerosene,” by chemically decomposing, or cracking, heavier portions of the oil at elevated temperatures.
