Will I have to pay more for the mold & mildew created by the nice air tight shrink wrap? or is that just a perk of the deal.

At the Lowe's Blowout, I picked up a bottle of additive for Kerosene. $1,25 treats 70 gallons. I used K1 sometimes and do get a little stink, thought I' give it a try, if it's nasty I have a friend who sometimes burns kero-lamps. She'll like it, I'm sure.

I picked some of this up too, thinking it may reduce/change the startup/shutdown odor from a kero heater I use from time to time. It did make the kero smell a bit better in the can, but didn't do much else.
However, you'll notice it's just scented methyl alcohol, so it's doing much more than (supposedly) adding a scent. It's also doing for the kero what "dry gas" does for your car's gasoline, making any water in the fuel cruise through the system without causing any ill effects.

I just bought an anti-depressant for when you're sitting by the fire. It's called Iron City Beer. It always elevates my mood.

Well somebody bought it... It may be a coincidence, but check out the name of the winning bidder - who used the "Buy-it-now" option!
Presumably it isn't being marketed as fuel, but rather as sort of "large scale incense" I don't know what advantage this stuff would have over normal incense though, and the regular stuff costs a LOT less - even for the high grade fancy stuff....

The worst one I ever saw was some knucklehead selling 3 lbs of pellets in large ziplock bags and calling them "fire starting pellets for your pellet stove". The bags were $10.00 each, which equates to $6666.67 per ton. The guy got offended when I sent him an email asking if each bag included a night alone with Shania Twain.

Not sure it'll do much for storage life unless you have an issue with water contamination. I also don't know what it'll do for the "old kero" smell, since I don't have any old kero around, although I bet it'll make it smell a bit better (or, maybe worse, like some really crummy vanilla/diesel/kero mix).
