Sec. 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 (Molotov cocktails). This
|
|
type fuel adheres more readily to the target and produces greater heat
|
|
concentration.
|
|
|
|
Several methods are shown for gelling gasoline using commonly
|
|
available materials. The methods are divided into the following categories
|
|
based on the gelling agent:
|
|
|
|
4.1 Lye System
|
|
|
|
4.2 Lye-Alcohol System
|
|
|
|
4.3 Soap-Alcohol Systems
|
|
|
|
4.4 Egg White System
|
|
|
|
4.5 Latex System

4.6 Wax System

Sec. V No. 4.1 Lye System
|
|
Gelled Flame Fuel
|
|
|
|
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 unsuitable for use in the chemical self-
|
|
igniting (sulfuric acid) type of fire bottle (Sec V No 1). The
|
|
acid will react with the lye and break down the gel.

PROCEDURE:
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: Make sure there are no open flames in the area when
|
|
mixing flame fuels. NO SMOKING!
|
|
|
|
1 - Pour gasoline into a jar, bottle, or other container. (DO NOT USE AN
|
|
ALUMINUM CONTAINER!)
|
|
|
|
2 - If rosin is in cake form, cut 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 while stirring constantly.
|
|
|
|
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 1 minute)
|
|
|
|
The mixture will eventually thicken into a very firm paste which
|
|
can be thinned, if desired, by stirring in additional gasoline.
|
|
|
|
Sec. V No. 4.2 Lye-Alcohol System
|
|
Gelled Flame Fuel
|
|
|
|
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 which will adhere to target surfaces.
|
|
|
|
Note: This fuel is unsuitable for use in the chemical self-
|
|
igniting (sulfuric acid) type of fire bottle (Sec V No 1). The
|
|
acid will react with the lye and break down the gel.

|
flame fuels. NO SMOKING!
|
|
|
|
1- Separate egg whites from yolk. There is a simple kitchen tool to do
|
|
this, or break the egg into a bowl and gently lift out the yolk with a
|
|
spoon.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Do not mix ANY of the yellow yolk in with the clear white.
|
|
If yolk contaminates the white, discard the egg.
|
|
|
|
2- Pour egg into a jar, bottle, or other container and add gasoline.
|
|
|
|
3- Add the salt (or other additive) to the gas/egg mixture and stir
|
|
occasionally until gel forms (5-10 minutes)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: A thicker gelled flame fuel can be formed by putting the
|
|
covered container in a bath of hot (65øC/145øF) water for about
|
|
1/2 hour and then cooling to room temperature. (DO NOT HEAT THE

NOTE: If acids are unavailable, use acid salt (alum, sulfates and

chlorides rather than sodium or potassium). The formic acid from
|
|
crushed red ants can be used.
|
|
|
|
Procedure: With commercial rubber latex-
|
|
|
|
1- Mix 92 parts by volume gasoline and 7 parts latex in a jar, bottle or
|
|
other container. Mix thoroughly.
|
|
2- Add 1 part by volume acid and stir or shake until gel forms.
|
|
|
|
With Natural Latex:
|
|
|
|
1- 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. Strain off the lumps
|
|
and allow to dry in air.
|
|
|
|
2- Place 20 parts by volume latex in a jar and add 80 parts gasoline.
|
|
Cover and wait until latex lumps swell to form a gelatinous mass (2-3
|
|
days).

|
|
Procedure:
|
|
1- Natural Sources - Plants and berries are potential sources of waxes.
|
|
Place the plants and/or berries in boiling water. The wax will melt and
|
|
rise to the surface. Let the water cool and skim off the now hardened
|
|
wax.
|
|
|
|
2- Melt the wax and pour it into a jar or bottle which is in a hot water
|
|
bath.
|
|
3- Add the gasoline and stir to mix in the wax.
|
|
|
|
4- When the wax has completely dissolved in gasoline, allow the water bath
|
|
to slowly cool to room temperature.
|
|
|
|
5- If a gel does not form, add additional wax, up to 40% by volume. 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 gas/wax mixture and shake or stir
|
|
until the mixture gels.

Procedure:
|
|
Preparation of animal blood serum: Hang animal over pail or tub. Slit
|
|
animal's throat by jugular vein and allow to drain into pail. Let the
|
|
blood sit until it gets lumpy (coagulated). Place lumpy blood in a
|
|
cloth or on a screen and collect the red fluid (serum) which drains
|
|
through. Store this in a cool place if possible
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: Do not get aged animal blood or serum into an open cut.
|
|
This may cause infections.
|
|
|
|
1- Pour blood serum into a jar, bottle , or other container and add
|
|
gasoline.
|
|
|
|
2- Add the salt (or other additive) and stir until a gel forms.

|
|
|
Sec. V No. 1 Chemical Fire Bottle
|
|
This incendiary bottle is self-igniting on impact
|
|
|
|
(The advantage of a self-igniting flame bottle is that there is no
|
|
flame trail leading back to the thrower. Hostile forces thus have
|
|
some difficulty spotting the source of the device.)

|
|
Rag or absorbent paper (paper towel, newspaper)
|
|
String or rubber bands
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
1- Sulfuric Acid must be concentrated. If battery acid or other dilute
|
|
acid is used, concentrate it by boiling until dense white fumes are
|
|
given off. Use enamelware or ovenproof glass container, not metal and
|
|
especially not aluminum.
|
|
|
|
DANGER: Acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is
|
|
spilled, wash away immediately with large quantities of water.
|
|
Fumes are also dangerous and must not be inhaled.
|
|
|
|
2- Remove the acid from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
|
|
|
|
3- Pour gasoline into the large bottle until it is approximately 2/3 full.
|
|
|
|
4- Add concentrated sulfuric acid until the bottle is filled to within 2-5
|
|
cm from the top (1-2 in.). Cap the bottle securely.
|
|
|
|
5- Wash the outside of the bottle thoroughly with clear water.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: If the bottle is not thoroughly washed, it may be
|
|
dangerous to handle during use.
|
|
|
|
6- Wrap a clean cloth or several layers of absorbent paper around the
|
|
outside of the bottle. Tie with string or fasten with rubber
|
|
bands.
|
|
|
|
7- Dissolve 100g (1/2 cup) of potassium chlorate and 100g (1/2 cup) sugar
|
|
in 250cc (1 cup) boiling water.
|
|
|
|
8- Allow the solution to cool, pour it into the small jar and cap tightly.
|
|
The cooled solution should be approx. 2/3 crystals and 1/3 liquid. If
|
|
there is more liquid than this, pour off excess before using.
|
|
|
|
DANGER: Do not store these two bottles together! If the solutions
|
|
mix by accident a fire will immediately result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How To Use:
|
|
|
|
1- Shake the small bottle to mix the contents thoroughly, and pour onto
|
|
the cloth or paper around the large bottle. Bottle can be used while
|
|
the cloth or paper is wet or after it dries. After drying, however, the
|
|
sugar/potassium chlorate mixture is extremely flammable and can be
|
|
ignited by the smallest spark or flame and must be handled accordingly.
|
|
The bottle can be wrapped in plastic to delay drying.
|
|
|
|
2- Throw or launch the bottle. When the bottle breaks against a hard
|
|
surface, the fuel will ignite.
