The nasty stink of nafta products is not caused by sulfurous compounds
but by olefins - compounds with C=C bonds. You need a hydrogenated
product.

Since you are not going to build your own petrochemical refinery (you
would not have offered $5 in such case), you need to buy the product
from some manufactuter.

For most household purposes "lamp oil" is probably what you want.

had:

We need only the deodorizing part. We will buy the kerosene and deodorize it.
We are looking for the details of a process to do it.

This sounds like a nasty and hazardous procedure best left to the experts:

"Kerosene is deodorized and decolorized by washing with (fuming) sulfuric acid..."

I'm not a fan of putting conc. acids anywhere near organic compounds. 
I'd be more tempted to do a hydrogenation (there's a bunch of
commercial catalysts and rigs for this) followed by a dilute acid and
base work-up.
