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."

http://store.galladechem.com/
calls CAS 64742-48-9 "kerosene."

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

No, add the 45-50% 64742-47-8 and the 12-18% 64742-47-8 and it is
mostly Kerosene. Minimum 57%. Maximum 68%

By my math, even the low end is MOSTLY Kerosene.
