On a side note a friend blew himself up with the white gas trying to light a fire, the fumes went into his polyester pants (1975) upon ignition he was engulfed in flames the pants melted onto his skin. he recovered after several months in the burn unit. I'm sure he thought it was a good way for quick fire.  |
Yes I knew a guy in the 70s that was badly burned by a gasoline fire and playing with matches. I read your post twice before I realized that it ,like my story had nothing to do with Naptha fuel lanterns
