If you can afford it, nothing can beat a hot water pressure washer or steamer. And you can put a cheap $5 tarp under it to catch the all of the crud.
Otherwise nothing wrong with using diesel fuel or gasoline as a solvent. Use the solvent with wire a brush but you won't get it anywhere near as clean as with hot water and you'll use gallons of fuel that will make a huge mess on the ground.

Hot water will take minutes, solvent will take hours or days.

Napa sells some stuff that I have in the shop, that works great, I am not going out to look at it for you, but it is in purple gallon jugs and mixes with water.

I use cheap charcoal lighter fluid to clean oil and grease off most everything. To clean your hands really good from grease, oil, paint, etc, squirt some into a terry cloth rag and rub it on your greasy hands. It works great, is cheap, and does not stink like gas or diesal. Once you have cleaned your hands, finish washing with a little dawn and warm water. You're clean and no bad smell. But do be careful around any flame or heat source!
