Model Forum / General / Railroads / June 2004Solid Fuel Tablets
Hi I work in a hardware store and a regular customer as asked me if I can get hold of any "solid fuel blocks" for him, they appear to power some steam models, the kind I had as a kid, a captive engine that drives a little generator and things... The blocks appear to be like firelighter type material but are only small perhaps 1"×1"×½". The gent cannot seem to buy these locally and I was wondering if anyone knew a mail order supplier I could point him to? Many Thanks Tom Burton www.class60.net www.bonelogger.co.uk > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Tom Burton I remember this stuff, which I think was called "Metafuel", though a Google search on the name now seems to produce nothing relevant. Stephen I used to use something similar for camping (warming up paraffin stoves) is this them: A quick look around Google came up with 'Esbit' solid fuel tablets. Also you could try loooking up 'Hexamine' - solid fuel used in some camping stoves http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/ishop/877/shopscr1708.html Kevin Fisher > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > www.class60.net > www.bonelogger.co.uk > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > The gent cannot seem to buy these locally and I was wondering if anyone knew > a mail order supplier I could point him to? There's a solid fuel tablet the Army use for the personal stoves. I think its eco-friendly too. Try thr camping/climbing shops or the Army surplus. >The gent cannot seem to buy these locally and I was wondering if anyone knew >a mail order supplier I could point him to? Mamod Spares at http://www.bullnet.co.uk/shops/test/steam_.htm part MAM76 have them or any Mamod Steam Model dealer, but not a patch on the old liquid fuel units. Mike |
