It also blends with Kerosene for use in diesel. Most castor oils will NOT blend with kerosene and in that case, the miscibility of Castor with ether, allows that blend to dissolve in kerosene. But Klotz Benol castor WILL blend with kerosene. But this must be above freezing temps. In that case, the castor drops out of solution.
Don't know about Isopropyl though.
