You can get kerosene at most gas stations. Well at least in Michigan you can. You could also go to a hardware store and pick up mineral spirits but that will be much more expensive.

The other thing you could do is go to a do it yourself car wash place and they usually have an engine cleaner option that you could spray the underside with and even if they don't the high power water should help you get off the worst and leave you with an easier job to clean the rest off...
