The trouble with various sprays is that they may or may not work, or may damage the engine. My suggestion is to cut off the air flow at the intake. When my engine Yanmar 4JH "ran away" (injection pump problem) I used a nearby small plastic container to block the air intake. Engine slowed immediately and stopped. Bill MYSTY Landfall 39.

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.
