Can any one recommend a naptha based panel wipe in the uk for my Optimus 8r ? The one I have is s2002 upol but I tried a tank of unleaded tonight and the output had to 3x better in the same time frame. But apparently unleaded is not recommended from what I read

Been meaning to take the dog for a while but wasn’t sure if it would aid in the relaxing part. I prefer a bivi but took the tent because at least I could lock her in to a degree. Being a working dog I couldn’t let her have free reign or the night would have got lively But she behaved really...

Thank you Pat that sure is a thing of beauty

I think I have the b version of this stove. It has two tubes under the burner. Does any one use one and what fuel is recommended. I am reading various things and people or some seem wary of using petrol/ white gas but stick with paraffin even though the b version is designed for petrol etc...

Hi yes have a dryer. It’s spread in the van at the moment until we get back after Christmas. It’s giving it an interesting aroma. Once we back will bath it with some down soap then pop in dryer. Fingers crossed it revives it and smell improves or it will be bin job :(
