HI Walt,
Thanks for the update.
I think in Russia the word naphta is sometimes used for fuel oil or light fuel
oil (Diesel). That's what inspired me.
Best regards,
Bernd

Diesel fuel? I don't think so. This is all I know, and way more
than I knew five minutes ago:
"(nap´the, naf´-) , term usually restricted to a class of
colorless, volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixtures.
Obtained as one of the more volatile fractions in the fractional
distillation of petroleum (when it is known as petroleum naphtha),
in the fractional distillation of coal tar (coal-tar naphtha), and
in a similar distillation of wood (wood naphtha), it is used
widely as a solvent for various organic substances, such as fats
and rubber, and in the making of varnish. Because of its
dissolving property it is important as a cleaning fluid; it is
also incorporated in certain laundry soaps. Coal-tar (aromatic)
naphthas have greater solvent power than petroleum (aliphatic)
naphthas. Originally the term naphtha designated a colorless
flammable liquid obtained from the ground in Persia. Later it came
to be applied to a number of other natural liquid substances
having similar properties. Technically, gasoline and kerosene are
considered naphthas."
