    Just got back from the local Australian hardware store and Shellite now $68.50 (AUD) for 4 litres. Kerosene about $35.00 (AUD) for 4 litres. I looked a couple months back and I thought Shellite was expensive then around the $40 mark for 4 litres. My goodness.

    Wonder what I can convert to run on Metho ($22 for 4 litres) or LPG? :lol::lol:

    Thanks @Loe I think I will try to make more use of cheaper fuels but only on a few test units for camping.
