Naphtha IS zippo lighter fluid, as far as I know. That's why I was saying it sounded odd in the first place.

Yes, zippo is naphtha. I just have this image in my mind of someone squeezing a tin of zippo into their tank. Or cleaning out the Walgreens, trying to use it as "alternative fuel".

No i had a bottle of high test out http://www.worldpac.com/msds/WP_023.pdf

it says 90% napatha but diesel purge lists the same stuff just not the %'s mainly that and benzene.. so go figure.. apparently they call napatha / hydrodesulfated heavy?

Most likely "hydrodesulfated heavy" is classified under "petroleum distillates".
Just long chain saturated hydrocarbons to get rid of the heavier soot.
