Though this might be "doable" by someone who thought about it a lot and got a lot of professional advice, it might be wise not to attempt it. To convert from kerosene to propane, you'll have to dump all the Plumbing. The kerosene tank, the piping, the valves, the pump, and the burners will all have to go. You'll then install a propane tank, new plumbing, the valves, and the burners. The real difficulty is determining how big a burner you might be able to run in the existing furnace. And this sounds like (is, in point of fact) an engineering problem that will take some skill and experience to resolve. No shortcuts or other nonsense can be tolerated here. None at all. If you burn your house down after doing a "refit" as asked, your insurance company will have an excellent reason to wash their hands and walk away. And that's if all you do is damage or destroy your house. If you injure of kill someone through a cobbled up refit, no amount of punishment will lift that burden from you. Be smart about this one. Please. And look for some used units if you are tight on bucks. Your utility company can partner with you in many cases like this and you can get some refunds for saving energy. Factor that into the equation. The wise person would.

What is propane vs kerosene cost per BTU?
1gal. Propane = 91600 BTUs 1gal. Kerosene = 135000 BTUs To heat 1,000,000 BTUs it would cost: 10.91 gals of Propane x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) 7.4 gals of kerosene x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Remember this is at 100% efficiency. If you are working with something less efficient you must multiply the fuel btu by the efficiency. For example: Propane Furnace that is 80% efficient. 1,000,000 / (91600 x .8) = 13.6 gals 13.6 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Kerosene furnace that is 60% efficient. 1,000,000 / (135,000 x .6) = 12.3 gals 12.3 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Hope this helps good luck
