No, it's called white spirit. Thinners is different but similar
I think they do use it to crack vegetable oil to run in a diesel engine...1980 GS1000G - Sold

Mineral Spirits is sold stateside as Paint Thinner. Works great as a degreaser for washing down grungy parts since it's not overly volatile and is fairly cheap.Ed
To measure is to know.

I just bought a gallon of mineral spirits/paint thinner yesterday at the hardware store. It's Tru-Value brand called low-odor mineral spirits. Great for parts cleaning and also as a wick lamp fuel!

As Dan says, we call it White Spirit (main use is in painting for thinning and cleaning). Cost around £5 a gallon in the DIY stores.79 GS1000S
