Oh, geez, there you go again. Despite your delusions, WD-40 is not kerosene,
and neither is anything they sell in the paint aisle at big box stores.
Then what is in those gallon cans marked "Kerosene" at HD?
The same as the cans marked Gasoline: Air.
You're both wrong, they are 5 gal round metal cans and they are indeed
full of Kerosene intended for use in portable heaters.
In the paint aisle? 
No. Up front by the heaters
Exactly -- read the thread. One of the posters makes a regular claim
that a huge variety of petroleum products (including paint thinner)
are just kerosene; the response was that no, nothing in the paint
aisle (i.e. sold as something other that kerosene) is just kerosene
under another name or with perfume. Saying they sell kerosene as
kerosene isn't a counter-example.
