white spirit can be lots of things/mixtures of things. But its very low and will cause detonation in petrol engines and probably work fine in deisel engines.

Not a lot, around 10 I think. It has quite a low self combustion temperature.

It means different things here and in the States...if you've heard stories of upping the octane rating of fuel, it's not OUR "white spirit"!
