Hi Jim, Well, I've read a lot of British books talking about paraffin stoves. this puzzled me at the time as I thought paraffin was a wax. Then one of my teachers who worked on bicycles had learned from a British book bike book that paraffin was kerosene. it could be that they use the paraffin for both kerosene and mineral oil. If it's used for cleaning bike chains and in stoves I'd go with kerosene. Then who knows I know the British also have at least four designations for what we call a .380 auto cartridge.
