Tinderless fire

[Scythe13]

I know you can mix potassium permanganate (some water purifier tablets are made of this) and petrol, and you get a fire. I know a guy that used to put it in the brown medicine bottles and then drop it in a car's petrol tank. The petrol disolved the brown bottle and then reacted with the potassium to make a 'hot rod'. Haha, look, an arson joke! I'm so clever. But seriously, this kid was nuts.

He used to read the Anarchists Cook book (originally The Jolly Roger Cook Book) in break time at school. He was totally off one. But he was always great with me, so I didn't care.

But if you have the petrol to mix with the potassium permangante, you could just put a cloth in the petrol and use that I guess.
