[at-l] (Guest Post) primus stove

[bcalkins@disaster-relief.net (Bruce Calkins)]

Check for a pressure relief valve. Usually in the cap.  If yes then most
likely White Gas (Coleman Fuel).  If there is none then It most likely uses
Kerosene.  Also on the stove it may say petrol, gaz or some such in a
European language.  If it translates to gas it is white gas if it says oil
then it uses kerosene.  Please be aware that if everything is not correct
it could rupture (explode) with disastrous consequences.
