Diesel fuel as a wood preservative
From a local practice, diesel fuel is used as a wood preservative in roof constructions or where the appearance of the wood is not a matter.
The diesel fuel is brush applied on the wood as an alternative to the widely marketed permerthrin - IPBC mixtures.It's also used for treatment against fungi and insects.
I looked for documentation, tests conducted or extensive experience on this practice but I couldn't find anything clear and reliable.
Any suggestion is welcomed.
