Hi again Doug.

I was getting way to wordy again,
The Age Refiners link gave this answer

Quote:
Solvents are midrange boiling materials (between jet fuel and diesel), and they are suitable in each application. In fact, they derive properties from each fuel: the jet cut lends cleaning capabilities and water white clarity, and diesel provides solvency and a higher flash point, which in turn creates a safer workplace.


I won't burn diesel in a lamp because it soots the lamp up.
I won't burn vegetable oil in a lamp either because it crusts the wick up.
And anything that evaporates and flashes faster then Jet A is too volatile.

I do know that when I buy odorless lamp oil at a premium price it is the exact same thing as odorless paint thinner and burns exactly the same.

I have had problems with pressure stoves burning automotive type fuels because of the additives clogging up the jets.

I am glad you questioned my comment because I am looking at it and checking out if what I have been doing for years is right.
The result is I am finding out a lot of grey areas in how they name oil products.

(I wonder if Blast would be able to clear it up a bit.)
