Trangias and petrol
Nice translations Tim - in the US it seems to be known as simply alcohol, so the name "meths" or methylated spirits would appear to be perculiarly British.
I have never used a Trangia - seen plenty in use by other folk - and I have never seen or heard of petrol being used as the fuel.
I don't think this is a great idea and would suggest, Ferg, that you don't use it, unless your kit instructions tell you that you can.
Setting light to neat petrol in what amounts to an open container is my reservation - I will do a lot of things, but I won't do that!!!!
(I await correction by someone who has better knowledge of Trangias).
