too bad alcohol is polar and white gas is non-polar :C

[lebammabel]

@spotlightman1234 Usually I use 96 % ethanol. From my point of view it is very good fuel. Doesn't matter how good is alcohol it differs from white gas.

White gas and alcohol will not mix! one is derived from wood the other is a petroleum product. i have tried and they simply do not mix

With clear alcohol and clear white gas it is probably hard to see this

Anyway interesting burner you've got there

[lebammabel]

When cold White gas and alcohol doesn't mix that's true. Liquid is fogy, but when heated up (which is unavoidable when burning), than it clears up and seems that is mixed . But anyway adding white gas to alcohol influences burning and burns quite good. You can see it in one of my videos.

How is the best ratio between alcohol and white gas? ( Alcohol 96% : White Gas)

[lebammabel]

If you meant mixture then I used different ratios - alcohol 2-4 parts and white gas 1 part. But it depends from fuel quality and jet size.

[TheeBudGuru]

I would try finger drills. Come in some pretty small sizes, as small as .0135"

[lebammabel]

Sorry, I couldn't understand what you mean.

White gas is more powerful, but alcohol in my opinion is safer.

[lebammabel]

I think that for kerosene pump is needed to get initial pressure in fuel tank.

Vangelis is cool. Used to listen to him a lot. Hey, can you burn kerosene in a stove like this?
