For lanterns? Lowe's sells K1 in sealed 5 gal drums. I guess Home Depot would have the same. If you need it for something else, I dunno. Good luck anyway.

I'm in Cumming and EVERYTHING I've found is Red Dyed EVEN WHEN THE PUMPS SAY UNDYED....I've yet to find any as well. One of my heaters works fine wth it..the other does NOT.

White kerosene is used to fill magnetic compasses for aviation. Depending on quantity you may want to ask the mechanics at the local airport. Searching online for "compass fluid" may turn up something worthwhile.

Try Jet A or Heating Oil #1. In heaters with a wick or gun fired unvented I have used Jet A plenty when we need to drain a tank for maintenance. My HO #! isn't dyed. Check smaller airports tell them you have a turbine Beaver or, Soloy C207.
