Pet ether should be equivalent to naphtha, mostly aliphatic hydrocarbons. Check the composition of your pet ether if possible (and do an evap test)

Yeah I've used it. I am using PE with a boiling point of 35-60 degrees Celsius. It evaporates without a trace, but it should: It is ACS grade. It boils if you put really hot water on a separation funnel. Next time I might opt for a slightly heaver fraction.
