Stove Fuel

RE: Stove Fuel
Yes Roscoe, that is where I am heading. I was only today discussing with a prep collegue that it is likely you can run a meths burner on substitute fuels. I suggested to him that petrol readily found in abandoned cars etc could be mixed with other inflammable fuels to increase its consistancy so that it would burn ok on the burner and we also realised this would probably make it more smokey. This may or may not be a problem but with some experimentation you might be able to get the mix better and also find other flammable liquids that would substitute and/or mix with petrol. Petrol may well be the most common source of fuel available in a PSHTF scenario for the short to mid term.
My collegue suggested one of those pump up modern compact primus stoves. Those advertised as multifuel. They are still expensive at over £100 and have more components to go wrong. I would think they are a good bet if the price is no issue. I am going to stick with the tried & tested venturi effect liquid fuel burner and experiment in the near future. Regards, TL.
