unkle spike Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 It is an alcohol derivitive of some type, usually Ethyl Alcohol, ISO Heet is Isopropyl Alcohol. Ya know if you would pick a bottle up next time you are at the store they list these things on the back that tells what it contains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 you put it in your gas tank to absorb water from the fuel. Keeps the lines from freezing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkle spike Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Oh and just another note: You cannot burn it in a forge, or use it to light a forge, it is highly flammable, and with alcohol it barely emits a flame, so you cannot see it burning until it is too late.

Steve Sells Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) So this post has nothing to do with blacksmithing? This will now be relocated. Why even make a post like that at this forum?

unkle spike Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Using the wrong fuel can have disasterous results. Check with the manufacturer for any recommendations. Coleman stoves here in the states originally ran on Coleman fuel, a really clean Kero, some people tried gasoline or "white" gas. They will explode as they are not make to run on it.

Damascus Mike Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 well this place is called problem solving not blacksmith problem sovling besides there are many different threads not on blacksmithing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkle spike Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I suggest googling "flammable fueled coffee Pots" you may get better responses. We know blacksmithing, not fueled coffee pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) The problem solving is under the section of blacksmithing. This is the section for general and non smithing nonsense. I am sorry if that is a difficult concept for you. Edited April 19, 2009 by steve sells clean up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Canned heat, it's the jelled alcohol used to keep chafing dishes warm and is safe to use for what you want. You can get the stuff in any super market here in the states. Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 maybe the name Sterno rings a bell? is the problem a language issue here? Not speaking in complete sentences, or even real words some times, makes it very hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt87 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Most 'beverage can' stoves I have seen run on a liquid alcohol. Due to various reasons related to governmental greed most people use a denatured alcohol such as methylated spirits ('meths'). Google would have answered your question a whole lot quicker than asking for advice on camping/hiking on a blacksmithing forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
