Paint thinner, varsol, and mineral spirits are essentially the same. There are slight differences in the chemistry, but they are functionally equivalent.
Main ingredients, from the material safety data sheet, are: * 50%: Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits, somewhat similar to, but not the same as, kerosene) * 25%: Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability) * 15+%: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil) * 10-%: Inert ingredients No Fish oil in WD-40...

As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
no they are not the same type of mineral.
colour, density and hardness.

No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances. All of the above except mineral oil are toxic if one drinks them. Turpentine is the only one that is not a petroleum distillate. Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.
I just had the same problem. I used mineral spirits on an old cloth and a putty knife to scrape off the tar. It worked great! The tar will dissolve with the mineral spirits.
Genuine turpentine is used by artists who paint with oils and is a wood spirit got by distillation of tree sap. Turpentine substitute is a synthetic spirit derived from mineral oil
All colors have same speed in a transparent medium or kerosene

Yes! Diesel, kerosene and gasoline are really the same thing except that they have different octanes. Diesel is the lowest refined gas then kerosene then your different octanes of gas. So, to make the octane the same as kerosene you simply mix the right amount of gas with diesel and voila, you have kerosene. I think u can use a lower octane than kerosene but NEVER put anything of a higher octane than kerosene! Yes!

Kerosene and heating oil are not the same. Make sure you use clear kerosene if you aren't venting out of a chimney - for example a space heater. Regular kerosene has a red dye that can be toxic
No do not use it. Kerosene will ruin your lighter petrol is what is used in lighters.
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.
