Response to Re: Optimus 8R on unleaded
 

I have tried the hunter with 95 unleaded gasoline /petrol and it was amazing, if not sooty.
Pure Coleman fuel was tried, but the flame after about 5 mins from priming was pathetic, and I got to 20 mins without any signs of the pan boiling.
I tried 25% petrol, 75% Coleman fuel, this produces a good flame which does not get out of control, smell or soot.
I went back to the shop to ask about the fuel and found out that the fuel had been in the shop, probably for four years, hence the title of the message. Thanks for all the help, chaps.
