Default Where can I purchase Kerosene from???

Went to Wal-mart, was told they didn't have it.

Went to Home Depot, was told they didn't have it.

Not sure where else to look.

I know of a place in Riverview that used to have it... corner of Riverview Dr. and Hwy 301 tire shop on North west corner.

Well, I guess nobody uses Kerosene.

So what does everybody use to clean their chain? Manual says kerosene.

I searched under "clean chain"....nothing.
I searched "kerosene"....nothing.

I heard that WD-40 is not good for o-ring chains. It does something to the o-rings, can't remember exactly what.

it dries them up. WD-40 sucks moisture out, thus bad for o-rings that require moisture for a good seal.

Kerosene distribution was banned some time ago in Hillsboro County; you won't find any place in county that sells the stuff.
