i don't know if thats really the case... pretty sure naptha is highly volatile, and causes serious respiratory problems, even in small doses.
you can easily find plenty of information by googling naptha or chemical pneumonia.
i have been sick from naptha/benzene exposure on numerous occasions... it's a fairly common leak in an oil/tar sands facility. it makes you really, really sick. you do get pneumonia such that you can hardly breath, then you start coughing so bad you get scared that a blood vessel or something is going to let go in your skull.
far as calling any liquid a lubricant, i guess that's technically correct to a certain extent... but if you want a door hinge to swing free for any length of time, forget the wd40... use 3n1 or something that is actually oil.
far as diesel lubed IP's... i don't know what you mean.
unless you are talking about injector pumps, in which case the newer low sulphur diesel is presenting problems that are also quite widely known.
yes, i am familiar with that process

I recommend bee's wax on (door) hinge pins... candle wax or bar soap is OK too...

what does any of that have to do with naptha as a fuel or solvent????????????
looked at lighter fluid lately?
gas turbin alternative fuels?
major constituant in silicone sprays?
napatha...

hold a lighter up to a spray can lately?:laughing:
at first i was going to say 'well, how do you pour the beeswax in the joint', but i guess its simple enough to pull the pin. that actually sounds like a pretty good idea... no muss no fuss. the hinge probably stiffens up when it gets cold though?

i think the point has been made... not necessarily a good idea to use naptha as a lubricant.
back to the wd40 thing that started this, and the fact that wd40 is really not a lubricant... if you don't believe me, just ask a machinist.

Yeah, but using WD-40 for a cutting fluid for aluminum is the only thing it's good for!

Ahh.. the red herring.
no problem. I was tired of discussing it anyway.. was weird posting a point then have a non related point put in place of a counterpoint.
remember.. on a number line from 0 to 1, you can keep cutting 1 in half forever and never reach 0. I nev er said naptha was a great lubricant. just that it did have some lube properties.. as do many other chemicals. All depends on application. Many things where many hats. byproduct, solvent, fuel, etc.. etc..
for the record I never mentioned wd40...

it's pretty good at blowing water of a old gas tractor dizzy cap and spark plug boots too!

ok so you pull the pin out of the hinge to put the bee"s wax in, but how do you get the bee to sit on the hinge and put the wax in? zman :laughing:

The only thing I've ever found it to be good for is taking off the glue residue from those sticky price stickers.
I keep trying to use it for things like lubricant, cutting oil,..., etc. It never works worth a darn, but the spray can is just so handy.

Haven't bought WD40 for years, only Liquid Wrench with lubricant. I called Relcon and found out there is a Fastenal in Cumberland Md. that handled there products. Called and went there today to pick up. First time I'd been in a Fastenal store, sure wanted to look around but had to get car back for wife, maybe next time! :thumbsup:

Simple! You put a little toilet seat on top of the hinge pin hole.
Oh...wait...you said SIT...

what if a bumble bee stops by and drops off a hummer?
do you have to snake the hole to get the pin back in?
