Hey guys, using lighter fluid bottles was never a probelm in london when they're a quid or two, but having moved to Bristol iv looked everyware and the only place that sells the stuff is selling it for £4 a can. considering i use q21q21, with atleast 3 pulls and atleast 100g, thats £12 for an average extraction on top of other costs

so my question is are there any cheap uk scources for naphta that anyone knows of?

i bought some Barrettine white spirit after checking its pure (99.9%) but in the evap test i found it took about ten minuts for a few drops to evaporate! and i heard it doesnt freeze precip too well eithor.

so i looked online for lighter fluid, but P&P is obviously alot on liquids

i know people will say to use d-limonine, xylene ect but id prefer to pull white

any solutions people?

many thanks for answering a dull question

Here you go:

Check this out

oh yes your Avatar is smoker but without X i like it

perfect, just what i was looking for thanks alot

just 2 q's, did you find it in a particular shop, and did it evap as quick as normal ligher fluid?

many thanks, you might have saved a dieng student wallet

(avatar is from the D files )

I mentioned it in the thread that I found it in go outdoors shop here , check if you have one near you

cool man, we have nothing but outdoor shops here in bristol so im sure i can find one. thanks again!

ah that's a bit annoying. it's barrettine white spirit that i bought. i did an evap test out of curiosity and noticed that it took a long time but wasn't too concerned since i am doing freeze precipitation. i guess i'll buy some ronsonol.

its heavy naphtha that's why it took long time to evaporate. I did evap tests on ronsonol, zippo and coleman and the best out of them was coleman , than ronsonol and zippo was quite bad actually. I would not use zippo ever again. next time I am gonna try coleman the one I provided link to. Ronsonol should be ok but did leave some residue in my test. The coleman naphtha did not leave residue.

Ronsonol is my usual brand, but like i said its expencive round here

moving on to coleman, ill post how it was in here when im done

Cant wait to see the results

UPDATE

I just read the Coleman naphtha specs and it says it has got a bit of RUST INHIBITORS in it - this is not good news I think

This comment was not there before or I have not noticed it

IS IT SAFE TO DO EXTRACTION WITH THIS NAPHTHA ? CAN ANYONE COMMENT ON THIS ?

thanks for the update, anyone know if re-xing can clean rust inhibitors?

Most likely not.

This is the problem with alot of the coleman these days, the rust inhibitors they put in it. This rust inhibitor is due to pass over into the final product.

Id steer well clear of anything that has rust inhibitors in it.

ahh thats really too bad man, got any suggestions for alternatives to expensive small bottles of lighter fluid brands?

In UK this is the best option I think , I have also some ronsonol at home from ebay so I will try that next time



what gets me is that the coleman evaporated clean without residue. I don't get it , surely the rust should be left after evap should not it ?

I would steer clear of rust inhibitors. I remember your thread and ended up going for Ronsonol because there was a bit of uncertainty surrounding the camp fuel stuff. I wish you could just buy large liter jugs of Naptha, that would make life much easier... Although I'm going to look into D-Limonene in future as that seems to pull more goodies...

EDIT - also no residue with this Ronsonol for me.

well at least I can use that 1l of coleman fuel for BBQ

hold on no more rusty sausages ?
