Combustible hydrocarbon liquid used as a fuel (8)

I believe the answer is:

kerosene

(Other definitions for kerosene that I've seen before include "Combustible" , "Paraffin oil (E, not I)" , "Sore knee (anag.)" , "Oil used as fuel in lamps and heaters" , "No seeker for American fuel oil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
