Never herd of that kinda starting fluid, but what do you exspect I live in the USA. LOL I like propane or mapp gas it work's for me. The starting fluid we have here is just a little to violent for me to use, esspecially the way I am making my cannon, I don't want to kill my chamber fan. That is why I use propane injection on mine. But it probly won't hurt to try. (might have to get a smaller chamber fan, mine is as big as my 4" chamber is) LOL

Starting fluid IS the best aerosol based fuel, but most of us prefer metered propane because it is more powerful and consistent.

mine CHAMBER FAN is that big also, it will only hurt the fan if you over heat it from continues shots.

That is what I thought, I'll just keep my metered propane setup. Mabe if I make a MINI I'll try starting fluid but till then, I still have to finish my first one.
