A few things come to mind.
1. Be aware that it's brake etc.
cleaner that you want, not what I've always known as brake and clutch "fluid".
Brake and clutch "fluid" isn't the same thing at all.
2. If I use the brake and clutch cleaner in my Optimus 8 pure, just as it comes from the supplier, it seems to come out of the jet way too fast. Half the time the flame won't stay attached to the burner if you turn it up full. I have mixed it 50/50 with paraffin which seemed to suit it a lot better. Maybe these cleaners aren't all the same.
3. When I went to get some brake cleaner from the local paint supplier, for some sort of VAT-related reason they were very iffy about me using it as a fuel and refused to sell it for that purpose. So being a stationer I told them I'd be using it to clean sticky labels off things. They were happy with that. I have in fact even used it that way a few times, but it took the paint off one of my hip flasks.
4. If this stuff arrives in a plastic container, find a metal one to keep it in. It's safer and it won't evaporate through the metal like it will through the plastic. Make sure that it's appropriately labelled and kept somewhere safe. IIRC there's a limit in UK law that says you can't store more than three gallons of liquid fuel without a licence, which will require you to jump through all sorts of hoops. That's because it can be dangerous stuff of course.
5. These stoves were
designed to run on petrol, I don't see any problem with using that - especially now there's no lead in it. As far as I'm aware it's quite a bit cheaper than brake cleaner. Yes if you use it a lot you might need to clean it a bit more often. I use my 8 a
lot - like cooking a meal on it almost every evening between spring and autumn. I mostly run it on Aspen 4 and I haven't had to clean it in more than a decade.
