Mineral spirits, or paint thinner containing 100% mineral spirits from
the paint department of your local hardware store is a low cost fuel for kerosene lamps and stoves. It is cleaner than kerosene, though likely not quite as odor free as good lamp oil. Usually about $3/gallon around here. I would suggest buying a cheap kerosene lamp and testing any "new" fuel before using it aboard. |

Ahoy The
IF the walk/drive to airport doesn't ruin cost/benefit try JET FUEL. Yes I said "jet fuel". Been told it's just high-grade kerosene. (By a cruising sailor who found only problem was their nozzle was about 2-3 inches in diameter.=take your own funnel. lol) Don't remember the price, but WAY below a dollar a gallon. Heard all this just about the time I moved ashore, so can not personally vouch for validity of info. But sounds logical to me. |
