Hi Roger,
What is called paraffin in England is called kerosene in the USA,
petroleum
(!) in Denmark, fotogen (or sometimes nafta) in Sweden, and perhaps
erdöl
or kerosene in Germany...
In Germany paraffin/kerosene/petroleum/etc is called Petroleum. Erdöl
is crude oil, Kerosin is the German word for Jet Fuel.
Best regards, gode hilsner,
Bernd
