134,000 BTU in a gallon of kerosene.
10,000 BTU per hour if it was 100% efficient would be 13.4 hours per gallon, so that shit ain't gonna happen. So..... I have no idea.

I have one rated at 1.3gph, it's a 10,000btu.
This is just a standard heater, no blower. Works via convection. |

Ok, it's been awhile but IIRC they hold a little over 2 gallons and will run about 12 hrs a tank full. So let's say 5 gal a day. Around 10 days I would estimate.

What isotopes in this kerosene? Can we assume nuclear?

During Y2K preps, I stored 40 gallons in case I needed to run mine continuously and I figured that was at least 7 days worth. I don't recall my exact math, just the result. Still got the kerosene, which still runs fine when I occasionally run my heater in the garage. |
