If you have an existing oil burning system in your home or business, it is important that you know which type of fuel to use in your system. Using the wrong kind of fuel could not only cause harm to your system, it could be dangerous.
B20 - fuel oil and kerosene are effective fuels that can be used safely. The choice of fuel type should really depend on what type and location of the tank on your property. It is quite simple. If your tank is located inside of your home or business, you should use B20 - fuel oil. If you have an aboveground oil tank that is located outside or in an unheated crawl space below your home, you should use kerosene. Why? Kerosene has a significantly lower pour point and works extremely well in extreme winter conditions and cold temperatures. Where B20 - fuel oil can gel when exposed to extreme cold temperatures causing service related issues and no-heat conditions.
Choosing kerosene to be delivered to your outside aboveground tank will offer you peace-of-mind from the coldest nights of the year and a possible heat outage from gelling fuel. Remember, you will be protecting your family and your home from all the grief that can result from a heat outage, on the coldest nights the risk of pipes freezing can happen in hours, not days.

Fuel waxing under cold conditions: kerosene vs. home heating oil/B20 identification by the friedman-freezer-test - the cloud point for a petroleum product or fuel is generally described as the temperature at which small solid crystals are first visually observed as the fuel cools.

This is the point at which the flow of the fuel through piping and equipment begins to be affected. "Cold filter plugging" is the point at which a fuel filter will plug and fuel will cease to flow.

This is a lower temperature than the cloud point. But here we just care about the visible cloud point in heating oil and kerosene.

Kerosene has a lower cloud point, waxing point or pour point than No. 2 home heating oil or B20.

No. 2 home heating oil, B20 or diesel fuel waxing or clouding or gelling begins to occur when the liquid heating oil reaches about - 9 °C or about 16 °F. (Clouding can occur typically between 8 °F above zero down to 15 °F. below.)

Kerosene waxing, clouding, or gel point: (much lower thank No.2 home heating oil, as low as -40 ° F.)
