Putting diesel fuel on equipment

I just got a real nice NI 12A spreader. The paint on the wood is really pretty good and you can read the lettering well. I would like to spray it down with diesel fuel. Would that help preserve the paint or in the long run make it fade more?
 
I like to fry catfish with french fried potatoes and hush puppies. As a result have a lot of used Canola oil. I use it all over my spreader (all metal Costco brand as I recall) all the time and works great at preventing corrosion and in the process keeps the paint shiny. If you can run cooking oil in diesel engines, guess they are close enough to be used for either to be used as a preservative. Just a thought.
 
I used to use diesel fuel and add a quart of oil. I would keep this in a container for the manure spreader. When I was done spreading for the season I would pressure wash the spreader and let it dry off well. I then put the oily mix in my garden sprayer and sprayed the spreader in its entirety. The spreader looked good and it kept the rust off , some eight years after and the spreader looked like the day I bought it. I think clean and dry are important in storing a spreader , what ever you put on to check rust is a bonus.
 
Probably don't. I was close. I knew the brand started with a C and didn't feel like going out in the rain and looking at the decal. It's Cosmo, not Costco. Sorry for the disinformation but that seems to be the norm these days, especially on the news and a lot of what is on the www, especially viewer comments to news articles.

If I did something like that I would have to pull splinters out of the dog's tongues daily.
