According to the manufacturer, WD-40 contains NO kerosene...
nor silicone, water, wax, graphite, chlorofluorocarbons. Surprise!
Believe it or don't.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_faqs.html">http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_faqs.html</a</li></ul>

They have been saying that for years . . .
when you compare the two they evaporate at the same rate, have the same smell and work exactly the same! That is also why WD-40 is so cheap, kerosene is cheap to purchase in such a massive quantity.

I have a close friend who is a chemist. He agrees with Larry for a lot of the same
reasons. Flammability is the same as kerosene, too.
It's a great marketing flimflam!

Amazing marketing department though.
