Default kerosene

Anyone know where I can get my hands on some kerosene? Tried Target and Home Depot already. I will probably try my local sports/camping store next. Want to clean my chain...finally.

Had the same hard time finding it in TX. Home Depot said its a winter item and it was not in stockbut went to the paint section and sure enough they had it. Also went to Lowes a few days later and they had it too. So check the paint sections. GL

Oh yeah!!Its recommended on the o-ring becauseit doesn't corrode or expand the rubberrings. Like for instance wd40 does...but some people swear by that stuff.
