@Presh.
Petrol is a highly volatile one. So sodium shouldn't be kept under it.

Sodium is highly reactive metal. It reacts with water vapour and as a result of it, a large amount of heat is liberated which can lead to a fatal accident. Sodium does not react with kerosene hence it is kept in kerosene.

To avoid the reaction with the oxygen present in air because sodium is a reactive metal so it is not safe to keep sodium in atmosphere so better store in kerosene.
