Default RE: Substitute for Ether

Naphtha is a vague class of petroleum distilates. Some sources list gasoline and kerosene are Naphthas.

White gas(Coleman fuel, Shellite) is the form we can get and would be interested in. It does have a low flashpoint and relatively low boiling point. Autoigntion temp is hard to find, but one listing I found put it at 321C.

I too think that a low percentage ether mix may be the final outcome of our experiments. 5% is low enough that it's cheap.
