Noice this explains why I had trouble running on lamp stove oil and when I added 99% isopropyl alcohol to the tank to clean and then tried to run it with the alcohol it worked beautifully. What I thought was a dirty filter wick, tank, and burn valve was actually user error and wrong fuel added. Luckily lamp oil does not corrode or affect any of the components of this stove and it actually helped clean the internals from all the dirty and debris of decades of use
You can use filtered used motor oil in these with 50% ipa. Works great but must be shaken for a minute before you start . Can also do it with most oils etc olive and works perfect with deisel as well. Best is to use ethanol blend fuels .
Thanks for your video, it's a nice experimental. Excuse me for my English. Just wonder the "power" of the fire (sorry I don't know how to mention it) from Isopropyl alcohol is not good as gasoline, as I can see you use your hands to cover the fire to let us to see the flame, that seems impossible if you are using gasoline, it's very hot.

Can it run on unleaded gasoline?

I am much more curious about burn time , i wonder if the white gas lasts longer and burns hotter if so white gas would be better .
I would like to see the same experiment with Paraffin(kerosene)
T works on 91% rubbing alcohol? Did you modify anything?
I didn’t modify anything, it worked.
Views and Reviews cool to know. I made a few stove videos this past few days. Take a look.
