Default What Smoke Fluid?

I know that this may be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyways...
I have a Jetcat P70 already installed into an airframe. I have just installed the Jetcat Smoke Pump.
My question is what sort of fluid to use for the smoke? I see it mentions in the instructions 'Diesel Oil'. Is that the Diesel you get out of the pumps at the local gas station?
I have never used any form of smoke systems in any airframe so I'm at a loss as I can't imagine it'd be regular old oil.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies!

Other then the smell if you spill it regular ole diesel fuel is an excellent smoke fluid, unfortunately with the price of it going up nearly daily by the end of summer it may cost as much as some of the other less stinky alternatives.

Super Dri works best, and there are generic (and cheaper) versions of it. Diesel fuel works okay, but not fabulous...but it is a waaaaay cheaper than just about anything else...
