Works great in Coleman stoves or any that use Coleman fuel.

You mean? Had some a couple or three months ago. Perfect for small stoves like an Optimus 8 or 123, little 'one shot' fuel cans sort of thing. Its pure fuel and burns very well.

That is no cheaper then aspen or even coleman fuel (per liter).
Also i think it is a dif fraction and so vaplurises at lower temp. Great in winter, but COULD(not saying would as too many varia bles) cause a problem in a self pressjrising stove like a svea 123 in very hot weather.

It works out cheaper to buy coleman fuel, so I'm guessing that in the scheme of things it's pretty expensive really http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-fuel-1-L/dp/B0048SX7RI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1351728794&sr=8-2
Lighter fluid does work well though, I've used zippo and swan branded fuel in a coleman 442 stove and they've both worked perfectly fine, I can't imagine that clipper branded fuel would be any different to either of those two.

No problems at all. The only issue you get with some stoves like the Opti 8 is using a large pot which overhangs the tank and may cause the safety valve to pop but you won't get this issue with a 123.
Coleman et al is cheaper but for an occasional user the 148 mil are a handy size to have

Thats the stuff. I want it for my hand warmer and zippo lighter.
The pound shop. 99p store and other cheap shop in my town have no fuel in stock and i have checked the last 4 weeks.
Newport and the london stuff they sold last winter i used, 100ml cans, so this stuff works out a good price. ronson feul is rubbish in my zippo, blows out realy easy so why i asked and the chipper brand before buying 12 cans.
Cole fuel on that links is 6.21 plus 12.95 postage, works out just under 20 pounds 1l. not what i call cheap.
millets in my local town sell it for 19.99 for 1l.
I use parafin in stove what was £8 for 4l last time i got some.

The clipper fuel is £13.50 delivered for 1.75 litres. Coleman is £6.99 a litre (£12.25 for1.75l) at Go Outdoors....so not a bad price unless if you have a Go Outdoors near you. I got the little 148ml bottles so I can just take a little spare fuel for a small stove rather than pack a spare 500ml fuel bottle.
You're completely right, I missed the postage charges. Maybe the lighter fluid works out at a reasonable price after all. My bad

lol thats ok. easy to miss the small print.
simply-hike sell iit for 6.95 plus 2.99 pandp, so 9.94. if i got 2l still cost more, plus i dont know if it works in my hand warmer lol.

Panel wipe or Aspen works out at about £3.25 a litre but comes in five litres. I'll go through 5 litres in a long weekend certainly in winter but for most people only using a hand warmer or a small Coleman stove from time to time the clipper bottles make sense.

Thats much the same warning you get with the likes of Coleman fuel, methanol, Aspen etc. Don't drink it, sniff it, throw it in your eyes or wash in it and you'll be fine None of us 'stovies' have come to any harm from panel wipe, but we tend to be a sensible bunch

lol not as bad as panel wipe, i know if you do read the bad stuff about things it would make you not use it. read what it say about basic pain killers.
If you use anything in a safe as you can way you should be ok. should lol.

Will be ok
Was there a difference between the panel wipe and the naptha? not enough to worry about.Says do not get on your hand with panel wipe at all. naptha says dont get it on your hand for a long time.
I see panel wipe looks like its being replaced with water base looking on the net, explanes why there is a lot of water base for sale on e bay.
If you had to pick one naptha whould be the one to go for, really all it says is it gets you high lol. probably just as bad as each other if you drink them. the bit about drinking any of them is nothing to care about unless your doppy and might drink it by mistake.
