also missed out:
AvGas (avaition fuel)..............................£1.60/ltr (prices vary with location)
Apart from the huge waste it might lend a bit of fun to the cooking and stop me putting the stove outside.

Re: Cooker, meths or petrol.

I've a Coleman screw on gas burner, had it for about 10yrs now, never let me down, well apart from in France when I couldn't get a screw on gas canister!
So, I bought an adapter which screws on to my Coleman and converts it to take clip on camping gaz canisters!
So now it takes both clip on or screw on cans I can always find gas. Admittedly gas is scarce in outer Mongolia but I've no plans to go there in the near future! But I think I'd just take extra gas with me if I did!
I've watched petrol burners in action and find them terrifying!

Re: Cooker, meths or petrol.

yep Vaude do an adaptor but they keep that fact quiet!

The pierce to use gas cans are to be phased out so i am told on safety grounds, the screw on type is a wierd thread (beleive it or not its 7/16" UNEF ) but it is common to the screw on gas cartridges that come with some of the more common diy blow torches...

My new omnifuel turned up today so i will be playing with as many different fuels as i can find over next few weeks.

Trying it with unleaded pump fuel its a bit of a monster compared with the coleman... sounds like a jet engine at full whellie

If you want seriously dodgy fuel in an omnifuel!

Hmmyeah, the old optimus hunter was a rather uncivilised beast...

Mine drowns out 747s doing a 90 degree turn overhead 10 miles away from Schiphol.
