Andrew Z just responded to another post - saying to run diesel in the trans to clean it out.
I didn't want to hijack the topic with this question though.
I'm sure diesel's fine for that - but I would normally do that with kerosene. I do everything with kerosene - cleaning parts, etc.
BUT - kerosene for some reason is disappearing in my area. You used to be able to get it virtually anywhere. They even used to sell 5 gallon cans at home depot.
But now, almost over night, I can't find it anyhere.
I'm down to one old timer who owns a small oil company, 15 miles away who keeps a 55 gallon drum and - he reluctantly fills my 5 gallon jug from time to time.
So two questions - IS diesel pretty much interchangeable with kerosene for cleaining? Pardon my ignorance, but I couldn't even begin to tell you what the difference is between the two - in how they're refined etc.
And second question - why is kerosene disappearing? Just lack of demand? Or has there been some new kind of regulation passed?
