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."


Correct. About 60% kerosene in one form or other.

You might want to check your math on that... Only two of the three compounds
that, collectively, make up 45-50% of the product are actually kerosene;
therefore, it's certainly less than half kerosene.

about 15% oil.

Ummm... "Petroleum Base Oil 30-35%" is a bit more than 15%.

It isn't necessary to argue percentages to conclude that it's not
"kerosene with perfume".
