Any idea what is a relatively cheap way to get about 40-50 gallons of
that stuff.
Thanks


I wondered this question myself several years ago. I ended up just
using "paint thinner" in 1 gallon poly jugs from eeevil Wallymart.
A few years later paint thinner prices roughly doubled.

I cannot speak to flammablity risks for either.


What about kerosene? Any thoughts?
