Incidentally there have been other posts about the trangia on this site... http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...l-vs-gas-39810
and on the Moroocan Forum one guy says do not ever burn petrol in one of these or they will explode but I found it works great no problems at all.
You can find the Trangia here.
Trangia Multi-Fuel Burner
Hope this helps.

The link you posted shows a Trangia conversion with a special petrol burner .Which ,of course, will burn petrol or white gasoline very well .
If you try to burn petrol in a regular Trangia burner ,you will have a fireball on your hands .They are an alcohol stove only.
BTW the price for the conversion is a rip off and costs more than the Optimus/Primus burner from which it is derived .[ Use an optimus or primus burner from eBay minus the legs and potholder to convert a Trangia to petrol/white gasoline/coleman fuel]
