feasible. Enjoy . . .
Section V, No. 4
GELLED FLAME FUELS
such as fire bottles. This type fuel adheres more readily to the target and produces greater hear
concentration.
Several methods are shown for gelling gasoline using commonly available
materials. The methods are divided into the following categories based on the major ingredient:
4.1 Lye Systems
4.2 Lye-Alcohol Systems
4.3 Soap-Alcohol
Systems
4.4 Egg White Systems
4.5 Latex Systems
4.6 Wax
Systems
4.7 Animal Blood Systems
Section V, No. 4.1
GELLED FLAME FUELS
LYE SYSTEMS
Lye (also known as caustic soda or Sodium
Hydroxide) can be used in combination with powdered rosin or castor oil to gel gasoline for use as a
flame fuel which will adhere to target surfaces.
NOTE: This fuel is not suitable for
use in the chemical (Sulphuric Acid) type of fire bottle (Section V, No.1). The acid will react with
the lye and break down the gel.

*** CAUTION *** Make sure that there are no open flames
in the area when mixing the flame fuel. NO SMOKING!!!
1. Pour gasoline into jar, bottle
or other container. (DO NOT USE AN ALUMINUM CONTAINER.)
2. If rosin is in cake form,
crush into small pieces.
3. Add rosin or castor oil to the gasoline and stir for about
five (5) minutes to mix thoroughly.
4. In a second container (NOT ALUMINUM) add lye to
an equal volume of water slowly with stirring.
*** CAUTION *** Lye solution can burn
skin and destroy clothing. If any is spilled, wash away immediately with large quantities of
water.
5. Add lye solution to the gasoline mix and stir until mixture thickens (about
one minute).
NOTE: The sample will eventually thicken to a very firm paste. This can be
thinned, if desired, by stirring in additional gasoline.
Section V, No. 4.2
GELLED FLAME FUELS
LYE-ALCOHOL SYSTEMS
Lye (also known as
caustic soda or Sodium Hydroxide) can be used in combination with alcohol and any of several fats to
gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel.
NOTE: This fuel is not suitable for use in the
chemical (Sulphuric Acid) type of fire bottle (Section V, No. 1). The acid will react with the lye
and break down the gel.

NOTE: Methyl (wood) alcohol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol can be substituted for ethyl
alcohol, but their use produces softer gels.
14 Tallow Food Fat rendered by
Making of soap cooking the meat
or suet of animals.
NOTE: The following can be
substituted for the tallow:
(a) Wool grease (Lanolin) (very good) — Fat extracted from
sheep wool.
(b) Castor oil (good).
(c) Any vegetable oil (corn, cottonseed, peanut,
linseed, etc.)
(d) Any fish oil.
(e) Butter or oleomargarine.
It is
necessary when using substitutes (c) and (e) to double the given amount of fat and of lye for
satisfactory bodying.
PROCEDURE:
———
*** CAUTION *** Make sure
that there are no open flames in the area when mixing flame fuels. NO SMOKING!!!
1.
Pour gasoline into bottle, jar or other container. (DO NOT USE AN ALUMINUM CONTAINER).
2. Add Tallow (or substitute) to the gasoline and stir for about 1/2 minute to dissolve fat.
3. Add alcohol to the gasoline mixture.
4. In a separate container (NOT
ALUMINUM) slowly add lye to an equal amount of water. Mixture should be stirred constantly while
adding lye.
*** CAUTION *** Lye solution can burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is
spilled, wash away immediately with large quantities of water.
5. Add lye solution to
the gasoline mixture and stir occasionally until thickened (about 1/2 hour).
NOTE: The
mixture will eventually (1 to 2 days) thicken to a very firm paste. This can be thinned, if desired,
by stirring in additional gasoline.

1. If bar soap is used, shave into thin flakes using a knife.
2. Pour alcohol and gasoline into a jar, bottle or other container and mix thoroughly.
3. Add soap powder or flakes to gasoline – alcohol mix and stir occasionally until thickened (about
15 minutes).

1. Separate egg white from yolk. This can be done by breaking the egg into a dish
and carefully removing the yolk with a spoon.
NOTE: DO NOT GET THE YELLOW EGG YOLK
MIXED INTO THE EGG WHITE. If egg yolk gets into the egg white, discard the egg (eat it).
3. Add
the salt (or other additive) to the mixture and stir occasion ally until gel forms (about 5 to 10
minutes).
NOTE: A thicker gelled flame fuel can be obtained by putting the capped jar
in hot (65 degrees C) water for about 1/2 hour and then letting them cool to room temperature. (DO
NOT HEAT THE GELLED FUEL CONTAINING COFFEE).

should form lumps as it comes from the plant. If lumps do not form, add a small amount of acid to
the latex.
b. Strain off the latex lumps and allow to dry in air.
c. Place
20 parts by volume of latex in bottle and add 80 parts by volume of gasoline. Cover bottle and allow
to stand until a swollen gel mass is obtained (2 to 3 days).

PROCEDURE:
———
1. Obtaining wax from Natural Sources: Plants and berries
are potential sources of natural waxes. Place the plants and/or berries in boiling water. The
natural waxes will melt. Let the water cool. The natural waxes will form a solid layer on the water
surface. Skim off the solid wax and let it dry. With natural waxes which have suspended matter when
melted, screen the wax through a cloth.
2. Melt the wax and pour into jar or bottle
which has been placed in a hot water bath.
3. Add gasoline to the bottle.
4. When wax has completely dissolved in the gasoline, allow the water bath to cool slowly to room
temperature.
NOTE: If a gel does not form, add additional wax (up to 40% by volume) and
repeat the above steps. If no gel forms with 40% wax, make a Lye solution by dissolving a small
amount of Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) in an equal amount of water. Add this solution (1/2 % by volume) to
the gasoline wax mix and shake bottle until a gel forms.
