Kinch, you still haven't figured out that "petroleum distillates" encompasses
a very large variety of compounds, only a very few of which can legitimately
be called "kerosene". WD-40 is not in that category.

says CAS 64742-47-8 is "Low odor paraffinic solvent, Dearomatized
kerosine, Deodorized kerosene."

calls CAS 64742-48-9 "kerosene."

In other words, it's mostly *not* kerosene.

The kerosene content is somewhere between 12% and 68%. If you've got
something more definitive, please share.
