Kerosene supplies in So. FL?

Hello all you south Florida members, anyone have access to Kerosene locally?
I've been digging around in the hardware stores, fuel stops and cant find any not even in 5 gal pails. Please share any sources, most of the fuel distribution types only move in 500 gal quantities, if you know someone that sells pump kero in lower quantities please share.

Thanks,
Bill

If you have any small airports that land small corporate jets in your area, there is a grade of jet fuel that is the same as K1. By me it is about $4 a gallon.

The only Kero I've seen anywhere in Orlando is at a Citgo Station and it's like $5.00 a gallon.

Thanks for the info...

I'm heading out to some truck stops and Citgos around here to see what I find, and post whatever I come up with.

Man...back in MD, finding Kero is easy most fuel stops carry it, I guess kero heaters are not too popular in south Florida

Thanks
