Most Farming or heating fuel suppliers will stock it. . . . It's basicly low grade Diesil.

ok, thanks, I gather we are talking mostly paraffin in the mix - 10% oil or more?

Lots of small garages still stock paraffin, make an effort and you'll find a cheap source of cutting lube.

I found it in the end ;)

Yes i have doubts about the safety of such things but there are people running alcohol, methylated spirits and all manner of deadly stuff on misters - the mind boggles.

That was one of the reasons i did not want to fog mist it - bigger droplets are harder to ignite.

WD40 seems popular, ignites just as easily and is just as flamable but smells a little nicer.
