theres one gas station for sure and maybe 2 more around me you buy it by the gallon from the pump. Just has to be pumped into the DOT approved blue plastic container (wont accept the 5 gal metal container even though its labeled kerosine). Unfortunately it was more than the cost of Diesel but cheaper than buying by the gallon can at hardware stores.
