[pct-l] Blended fuels

[Montedodge@aol.com]

Just going over some charts on fuels. Blended propane and butane will work 
below freezing at sea level and liquid vapor feed type " Ala " Hank Roberts 
and new coleman peak canisters burn with no taper off in performance. Down 
side is finding some types of these canisters at trail outpost towns. Weight 
of fuel verses weight of fuel, the white gas, unleaded gas fuels are still 
champs over the propane/butane gang. ( though some propane stoves are 12 oz's 
lights )  The new cannister stoves are lighter and easy to use, but fuel is 
still sub-par to white gas in btu's per weight.
