Word a mate of mine (not in prison) is after some naphtha for a stove. Anyone know anywhere in Sheffside you can stoll in and buy this stuff?

I know you can get coleman fuel from CCCs but i imagine regular household naphtha is cheaper then the tenner a litre you pay for that shit.

Naptha? Are you going to cook pemmican with it? With some bully beef? And wash it down with ginger ale, old bean?

Coleman fuel is expensive cos of UK fuel tax. I can't see you getting round that, but if you do I'll have a gallon.

OK for reference, the place on john street is now at the queens road end of broadfield road, and 4T is about a quarter of the price of Coleman shit. Winner.

Good steez dave.

I think 'panel wipe' is just naphtha too - can be got from automobile factors places, as the 'panel wiping' in question is degreasing car panels before paint spraying.

Clocked the posters as I drove past this morning. Have you tested it yet? I've run the MSR on all sorts in the past, they all clog it quick though.
