Freon probably would have worked, and was available everywhere. Can't think of anything that is readily available now that wouldn't also hurt your engine.

What was that?

They will enthusiastically tell you what it isn't. It isn't Kerosene or fish oil. Lately they also swear it is not Stoddard solvent, but that really is splitting less than a hair. It is so close to Stoddard solvent in makeup that it is functionally the same thing. Stoddard Solvent is a bit more refined than kerosene, but for starting a balky diesel, it is close enough to water-white kerosene to work for that purpose. I think it has a lower flash point than Stoddard solvent, which is an asset for this purpose. The term Stoddard Solvent covers a range of petroleum distillates. If someone calls the main ingredient of WD-40 "Stoddard Solvent", I don't think you can call them wrong, regardless of marketing department claims to the contrary.
