Section V, No. 4

                    GELLED FLAME FUELS

        Gelled or paste type fuels are often preferable to raw gasoline for use in 
incendiary devices such as fire bottles.  This type fuel adheres more readily 
to the target and produces greater hear concentration. 

        Several methods are shown for gelling gasoline using commonly available 
materials.  The methods are divided into the following categories based on the 
major ingredient: 

               4.1 Lye Systems

               4.2 Lye-Alcohol Systems

               4.3 Soap-Alcohol Systems

               4.4 Egg White Systems

               4.5 Latex Systems

               4.6 Wax Systems

               4.7 Animal Blood Systems


Section V, No. 4.1

                       GELLED FLAME FUELS

                           LYE SYSTEMS

        Lye (also known as caustic soda or Sodium Hydroxide) can be used in 
combination with powdered rosin or castor oil to gel gasoline for use as a 
flame fuel which will adhere to target surfaces. 

NOTE:  This fuel is not suitable for use in the chemical (Sulphuric Acid) type 
of fire bottle (Section V, No.1).  The acid will react with the lye and break 
down the gel.

PROCEDURE:
---------

*** CAUTION ***  Make sure that there are no open flames in the area when 
mixing the flame fuel.  NO SMOKING!!! 

        1.  Pour gasoline into jar, bottle or other container.  (DO NOT USE AN 
ALUMINUM CONTAINER.) 

        2.  If rosin is in cake form, crush into small pieces.

        3.  Add rosin or castor oil to the gasoline and stir for about five 
(5) minutes to mix thoroughly. 

        4.  In a second container (NOT ALUMINUM) add lye to an equal volume of 
water slowly with stirring. 

*** CAUTION ***  Lye solution can burn skin and destroy clothing.  If any is 
spilled, wash away immediately with large quantities of water. 

        5.  Add lye solution to the gasoline mix and stir until mixture 
thickens (about one minute). 

NOTE:  The sample will eventually thicken to a very firm paste.  This can be 
thinned, if desired, by stirring in additional gasoline. 


Section V, No. 4.2

                       GELLED FLAME FUELS

                       LYE-ALCOHOL SYSTEMS

        Lye (also known as caustic soda or Sodium Hydroxide) can be used in 
combination with alcohol and any of several fats to gel gasoline for use as a 
flame fuel. 

NOTE:  This fuel is not suitable for use in the chemical (Sulphuric Acid) type 
of fire bottle (Section V, No. 1).  The acid will react with the lye and break 
down the gel.

NOTE:  Methyl (wood) alcohol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol can be substituted 
for ethyl alcohol, but their use produces softer gels.

NOTE:  The following can be substituted for the tallow:

   (a)  Wool grease (Lanolin) (very good) -- Fat extracted from sheep wool.
   (b)  Castor oil (good).
   (c)  Any vegetable oil (corn, cottonseed, peanut, linseed, etc.)
   (d)  Any fish oil.
   (e)  Butter or oleomargarine.

        It is necessary when using substitutes (c) and (e) to double the given 
amount of fat and of lye for satisfactory bodying. 

PROCEDURE:
---------

*** CAUTION ***  Make sure that there are no open flames in the area when 
mixing flame fuels.  NO SMOKING!!! 

        1.  Pour gasoline into bottle, jar or other container.  (DO NOT USE AN 
ALUMINUM CONTAINER). 

        2.  Add Tallow (or substitute) to the gasoline and stir for about 1/2 
minute to dissolve fat. 

        3.  Add alcohol to the gasoline mixture.

        4.  In a separate container (NOT ALUMINUM) slowly add lye to an equal 
amount of water.  Mixture should be stirred constantly while adding lye. 

*** CAUTION ***  Lye solution can burn skin and destroy clothing.  If any is 
spilled, wash away immediately with large quantities of water. 

        5.  Add lye solution to the gasoline mixture and stir occasionally 
until thickened (about 1/2 hour). 

NOTE:  The mixture will eventually (1 to 2 days) thicken to a very firm paste.  
This can be thinned, if desired, by stirring in additional gasoline.

        1.  Separate egg white from yolk.  This can be done by breaking the 
egg into a dish and carefully removing the yolk with a spoon. 

NOTE:  DO NOT GET THE YELLOW EGG YOLK MIXED INTO THE EGG WHITE.  If egg yolk 
gets into the egg white, discard the egg (eat it). 

        2.  Pour egg white into a jar, bottle, or other container and add 
gasoline. 

        3.  Add the salt (or other additive) to the mixture and stir occasion 
ally until gel forms (about 5 to 10 minutes). 

NOTE:  A thicker gelled flame fuel can be obtained by putting the capped jar 
in hot (65 degrees C) water for about 1/2 hour and then letting them cool to 
room temperature.  (DO NOT HEAT THE GELLED FUEL CONTAINING COFFEE).

gasoline in bottle.  Cap bottle and shake to mix well. 

        b.  Add 1 part by volume vinegar (or other acid) and shake until gel 
forms. 

*** CAUTION ***  concentrated acids will burn skin and destroy clothing.  If 
any is spilled, wash away immediately with large quantities of water. 

        2.  With Natural Latex:

        a.  Natural latex should form lumps as it comes from the plant.  If 
lumps do not form, add a small amount of acid to the latex. 

        b.  Strain off the latex lumps and allow to dry in air.

        c.  Place 20 parts by volume of latex in bottle and add 80 parts by 
volume of gasoline.  Cover bottle and allow to stand until a swollen gel mass 
is obtained (2 to 3 days).

PROCEDURE:
---------

        1.  Obtaining wax from Natural Sources:  Plants and berries are 
potential sources of natural waxes.  Place the plants and/or berries in 
boiling water.  The natural waxes will melt.  Let the water cool.  The natural 
waxes will form a solid layer on the water surface.  Skim off the solid wax 
and let it dry.  With natural waxes which have suspended matter when melted, 
screen the wax through a cloth. 

        2.  Melt the wax and pour into jar or bottle which has been placed in 
a hot water bath. 

        3.  Add gasoline to the bottle.

        4.  When wax has completely dissolved in the gasoline, allow the water 
bath to cool slowly to room temperature. 

NOTE:  If a gel does not form, add additional wax (up to 40% by volume) and 
repeat the above steps.  If no gel forms with 40% wax, make a Lye solution by 
dissolving a small amount of Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) in an equal amount of 
water.  Add this solution (1/2 % by volume) to the gasoline wax mix and shake 
bottle until a gel forms.

        a.  Slit animal's throat by jugular vein.  Hang up-side down to drain.

        b.  Place coagulated (lumpy) blood in a cloth or on a screen and catch 
the red fluid (serum) which drains through. 

        c.  Store in cool place if possible.

*** CAUTION ***  Do not get aged animal blood or the serum into an open cut.  
This can cause infections. 

         2.  Pour blood serum into jar, bottle, or other container and add 
gasoline. 

        3.  Add the salt (or other additive) to the mixture and stir until a 
gel forms.
