White Gas

[ShakeyBMW]

aka Colman fuel, Primus power etc.

I can’t believe the soot that accumulates on my MSR wispalite dtove when I burn unleaded fuel. I can use it in my Coleman multifuel stove without any issues.

Anyway, I thought I would try white gas but three camping shops later, nobody seems to meet the regulations required for its storage.

I’ve tried to order it online but fallen foul of the old “You are in Aberdeenshire so you are Highlands and Islands” shite.

Where do you buy yours?

Try lawnmower shops, cheaper than Coleman as well

Car spares shop, get Panel Wipe burns very cleanly,. ( make sure you get the Flamable one not the water based one. )

Aspen 4T is all I ever use now - Brilliant!

Same here. £33 for 5litres at my local lawn mower place a couple of weeks ago.

Amazon sell it too. Delivery adds a few £££ though

I picket up some Aspen just before Portsoy last year

£20 for 5 litres robbery lol

Well despite having a machine place here in Inverurie that has a bloody great banner advertising the stuff, Aspen 4T is rarer than E5 in this neck of the woods. You can get a Stihl equivalent but it’s only two stroke.

So panel wipe it is then. £17 for 5l

Still a litle smokey at startup but way cleaner than unleaded.

Glad it worked ok

I have a second fuel bottle ,a special one for dispensing Meths .
If you use meths to light your msr - it lights cleanly without all the flame ,drama and soot .
Use stove to cook , then turn off n blow it out while still on blue flame .
That all works with no mess

It's probably de-coking the stove, and will burn clean once it's done.

There really shouldn't be anything to burn sooty in napthalene.

Same with Aspen, as it's basically distilled, leaving all impurities behind.

My Whisperlite runs sooty on unleaded fuel, much cleaner on Tetrosyl panel wipe link

Thanks Simon. I must confess that sounds like a bit of a faff (carrying a second bottle) so maybe I’ll put up with a bit of cleaning. With petrol, there were great flakes of soot peeling off and drifting away during the lighting phase. Not so much with panel wipe.

Thanks to everyone else for your advice and help.

I used to carry a small tin of flammable gel and use that for preheating the fuel pipe then cook on Aspen 4T.
