  1. Coleman fuel - 'White Gas' is a rip-off in the UK at at least a fiver for
    half a litre! There are dire warnings about using car petrol - even unleaded,
    in stoves (the warnings relating to the additives being toxic when burnt in
    a stove).

    There have been recommendations on the web for 'Panel Wipe' (used in car
    body workshops) for petrol/gasoline stoves, and I've bought some to try.
    Coleman Fuel is naptha, the Panel Wipe I bought is also naptha. In my
    Russian R1 stove (an Optimus R8 clone), Panel Wipe burns with a clean blue
    flame and leaves no residue on the base of pans - and there are no unpleasant
    fumes. I shall continue to use Panel Wipe in my petrol/gasoline stove(s) and
    would be interested in any comments that petro-chemical engineers on this
    forum might have.
