Hi Guys, I'm sure alot of you already know that getting Naptha here in Canada is not quiet as easy as some other parts of the world. The 2 main options we have, well at least where I live are Colemans camp fule and Ronsonal. I would just like to know if anyone (especially if you are from Canada) has used both as Naptha and if either one was better then the other? I have been using Ronsonal for my extractions and seems to be working fine....Yields are low but i'm pretty sure i have low quality bark  I have done some research on this topic both here and around the net and keep getting conflicting answers??? It would be great if I could switch to Colmans because it come in a much larger tin and is way cheaper then the tiny plastic bottles of Ronsonal I have been using. Sorry if this is a really basic question, im still pretty new to this and dont know enough about what makes good Naptha. MSDS for Colmans http://www.coleman.com/u...pport/Safety/lantern.pdfMSDS for Ronsonal http://www.local510.org/...sheets/Ronsonol_MSDS.pdfThanks in advanced.

Don't use the Coleman's fuel, it has nasty additives. Check out " MSR Superfuel" Available at SAIL and MEC stores. Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away.

Thanks for the fast response!
MSR Super fuel you say? is this what you use OneStepBeyond?
Might be hard finding it where I live....the only places around where I live are Canadian Tire and HomehardWare.
Ill have a look around online

Ill have a look around online If you click the link, you can "find in store" near your location. I have used it. It's pure naphtha and it evaporates clean (unlike Coleman fuel). Yesterday, upon the stair,

Looking at the Coleman fuel MSDS, it says of the appearance, that it is a "clear, green, light hydrocarbon liquid". Since, out of the "Cyclohexane, Nonane, Octane, Heptane, Pentane," mentioned as (being 100% of) the ingredients, all are colourless, the product must contain a green dye. What other undeclared additives are there in Coleman fuel? Nice of them to remove the neurotoxic hexane, though! “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Nice of them to remove the neurotoxic hexane, though! There may be a rust inhibitor causing the green coloration that is not listed on the msds. you may be able to call them & get the info out of them.

Looking at the boiling points, that would fractionally distil fairly well: Nonane 150.4 °C Octane 125.1 °C Heptane 98.1 to 98.7 °C Cyclohexane 80.74 °C Pentane 35.9 °C But that's far from basic (although rather simple). “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.
