Don't like to diesel idea. We have enough pollution now. Here where I'm from on the Delaware River we are in the process of cleaning up 500,000 gallons of spilled oil. Terrible thing. Stopped me from muskratting this year. They make a product that is earth friendly. It's called stump out and takes about 3 months to work. Cheaper and safer the anything going. It just takes time.

we'd just drill a bunch of 3/8" holes in the top of the stump and carefully poor diesel fuel in the holes being sure not to spill any on the ground, and the stump absorbs the diesel and dies. or you if you have access to a back hoe or if its just a small stump you could use a cherry picker (engine hoist) to hoist the stump out of the groung.
