        Has anyone considered using diesel oil instead of gasoline(petrol)?
Diesel doesn't evaporate as rapidly as gasoline and as a result doesn't
flash when ignited. I use it when burning brush on my farm for this reason.
Diesel also contains a lot more energy, ounce-for-ounce, than does gasoline
and is better for getting fires started on wet wood.
