Varsol is an Exxon trade name for their multi-purpose solvent. It is
basically kerosene.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, I was cleaning up a
1 kW broadcast tramsitter that used motors to run the variable caps for
tuning. Some of the motors were very dirty and straining to even move. I
decided to get some kerosene or anything at all to clean them. Someone told
me of a solvent called Varsol and where to get it (at a truck stop). I went
there and they were out of it but suggested diesel fuel instead. I shrugged
my shoulders and got a gallon or so. Went on back to the transmitter site
and pulled one of the motors and opened the can of fuel. WHOA! And here I
thought diesel had that gosh awful stink as a result of burning.
Anyway, I remember the name Varsol, for what that's worth.
