I just googled this Best way to kill tree stump - Tree World -
Drill a deep hole into the stump, feed it diesel through a tube. Make sure you don't get diesel on anything else, will kill just about anything in your garden."What we've got here is failure to communicate."Comment

It depends on what tree it is as to wether it will regrow.
If its a conifer then it will simply rot away over afew years as they dont regrow.
Some Genus regrow, some dont, depends upon the life cycle of the tree in question.
A photo of said tree before you cut it down would be useful.
Anyway its down now, so there are lots of Proper Arb use chemicals out there that you wont be able to buy, unless you know someone in the trade.
To be fair if you have a chainsaw, then simply plunge cut deep into the remaining stump and apply Roundup twice afew weeks apart by pouring it in the groves left.
Yep any Petrochemical fuel works or rocksalt, but neither is very enviromentaly freindly!
You can either cut them in the circle, which would be the correct method, although this is not be undertaken if your not used to using a chainsaw.
Plunge cutting is extremely dangerous unless your skilled and trained.
Basically plunging the tip (nose) of the bar straight into the Tree .
As the chain runs a cetain way round, most of the Kickback force is on the nose.
This is usually the point where the untrained end up in A+E with a half you face hanging off or it can go the other way and up your inside leg, severing and you bleed to death in about 2 minutes.
Either way your gonna die!
Or if your lucky it will simply break your wrist with the force as it snacks back.
See attched photos of chainsaw injuries.
or simply Pay someone someone like me who is trained , Qualified and insured to do the job for you at a Fair price,

Or drill a hole, feed it diesel and make sure not to spill any. Know which one I'd choose. Cost = free - gaping eye wound.
If you are a qualified tree surgeon, discussing plunge cutting with someone who asks how to kill a root is madness to be fair."What we've got here is failure to communicate."Comment

It was tounge in cheek advice to be fair!
All the advice was already on the link to ausie arb site, which i did not post the link to.
I did state at least twice "Not for the untrained or inexperienced" or words to that effect.
The pictures were to demonstrate what can happen if things go wrong.
The use of Petrochemicals to kill weeds or Trees is madness to be fair!
Depending on where you live, the soil type and how low the water table is, the chances are eventually it will end up in the water table resulting in Contamination, potential poisening of wildlife/ Farm animals.
Which could could in turn end up in the food chain and on your dinner plate.
The Legislation on Enviromental Polution can be severe , usually with prosecution by the usual Government agencies and can follow with a custodial sentence.
At least with rock salt that ocures naturally and can be filtered out by water treatment, wether that be natural through layers of Mother natures own filter system or man made treatment.
This is the reason certain Chemicals are only sold to those who are trained and qualified to use them responsibly with complete traceabilty and accontability if things go wrong.
You could actually drink Glysophate 360 (roundup) and still live , as its not a poisen, but made to break down the cell in plants only.
Try drinking any type of Fuel and see how long you live,

Why? if used responsibly they are as effective as anything off the shelf. Am sure you are aware of there phytotoxic properties.
Chances of this are minimal, similar to that of say someone spilling fuel while filling a chainsaw.
Really?
Almost scared me into not using diesel there
