Well, diesel, while a petroleum product, isn't all that similar. Has
twice the molecular weight, has about 65 to 1 less vapor pressure,
higher density, and about 5 times more viscose etc. Plus, then I would
have to clean the stuff out of everything. I keep thinking of a
refrigerant type fluid, but haven't looked. As to asking, I might do
that but the research is a learning process for me and I am always
trying to learn rather than just jumping in and implementing. I always
learn something even if it is wrong most of the time, lol...
