Well, you can add a little bit, since Charcoal lighter fluid is mainly kerosene, or a light form of kerosene.

In winter, diesel fuel is actually cut with kerosene as an additive to prevent clouding . It lowers the solidification of the diesel fuel.

So its probably OK to add a bit,.....maybe a quart or so to the older diesel engines. ITs probably OK for even newer diesels as long as its a quart or less.

Do not run 100% lighter fluid in a diesel engine. There is no lubricity, and the cetane is not adequate.

Do salt and charcoal lighter fluid combination form a solution?

No, a combination of salt and charcoal lighter fluid does not form a solution. Salt is a solid that dissolves in water but does not dissolve in lighter fluid, which is typically a hydrocarbon-based liquid. Instead, the two substances would likely remain separate, with the salt not integrating into the lighter fluid. Thus, the mixture would be heterogeneous rather than homogeneous.
