In this video I'll take a look and see if WD40 can be used as a fuel in a multifuel backpacking stove. Please be SUPER careful when experimenting with fuels and flames. Enjoy!

Interesting indeed. Skeet...you just gave new meaning to cook and rust proof all in one.
It’s very noble of you to risk blowing yourself up so we don’t have to!😅
This was quite interesting. It reminded me of two things: First how I used to run WD40 as a fuel when I was into RC cars and boats decades ago. It worked, albeit not too well. Second thing it reminded me of as a similar alternate fuel test I ran early this past summer. What I found is that as long as the fuel is only comprised of VOCs it'll work well. But if it has any additives (like gasoline does) then it's a no-go. Best test I found was to evaporate some of the intended fuel in a white cup. If there is ANY residue or staining then it's not a good idea to use it. But if it evaporates away fully then it should be fine. For heavier fuels I used a heat gun to speed things up. I've run WD40, varsol/mineral spirits and paint thinner in a stove without any negative effects other than the smell. Some were really unpleasant. But if it really came to the end of the world it's good to know you could fuel up at a paint store.
I use unleaded petrol (gas) in my Soto Muka...works fine and is indicated in the user instructions as a suitable fuel. Runs the same as Shellite (White Gas). It was interesting though to see what really doesn't run in a stove. WD-40 would be expensive...LOL
That…. That was surprising. Thanks for posting!
That is so interesting! Thanks Skeet
Awesome experiment, who would've thought it. 😀
Cool vid! Bottom of your pot won't rust! 😂👊👍
Very cool! Blessings from Kansas ❤️
Thank you! Hope you're doing fantastic!! Blessings from Arizona!
didn't think that would work. but I would be concerned about the oil build up catching fire. thanks for sharing this.
interesting! I gotta get me one of these stoves. Try experimenting with more fuel types like nail polish remover or paint thinner etc...
ever since the penny stove, less oil for flame, only on emergency tho, good to see your still at it :)
It burns better than when using A heavy oil as fuel, and is similar to when burning pure spindle oil.
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you, this one was fun. Blessings to you!
Interesting video. Reminds me of when I tried a different fuel in an alcohol stove. I think it may have been some fuel additive from the dollar stove. I reccall residue left on the stove . Probably had lots of noxious fumes. Not a good choice : )
Definitely use in a well ventilated area.
I never thought about trying that. I imagine that you could refine it a little to make a more efficient fuel. I think I’ve seen someone use a process like that to get white gas from gasoline.
That reminds me. Lol. As a kid i was a piro. I use to burn plastic cement.
Have you tried the Optimus Polaris pump with an MSR XGK? Imagine being able to simmer using canister fuel on an XGK due to 2 valves during ‘good times’ then switching to reliable use of vehicle fuel in long term emergencies, that would be awesome 🤔
Okay now you have to test everything!
I wonder if it would work in a regular Trangia type stove 🤔
More please.
Will it get blue flames running on kerosene.? Thanks for your answer.!
👍👍
Gettin lil bitnofnsilver in the face mane there bud lol
My grandpa always called it. WD-45. Worked at a steel service center and a truck driver came in swore the stuff helped with his arthritis. Good for everything I guess. Thanks for the entertainment Skeet. I'll probably pass on that for fuel though.
I've heard of people using it on their sore joints before. Can't see how it would do anything, but met a guy in his 90s that swore by wd40 and ashes
Wonder if it would burn cleaner with a smaller fuel jet.
Have you ever tried to clean WD40 off of a glass surface? I tried cleaning some tape adhesive off of a window
Water boils much faster in an aluminum pot.
Hello I live on France and try to fond where I can buy the same stove because actually problems with electricity gaz gazoline...recession time. thanks for answer me, I like look at your vidéos and learn english too
Thansk for thr video. How is the Optimus polaris holding uo for you as a stove so far? Im wanting to get a solid multifuel stove thats reliable,strong and serviceable
Thank you, the Optimus Polaris and Whisperlite Universal are both hondo up very well. Excellent stoves. I don't know if you've seen my video comparing those 2 stoves.

Mcuh appreciated. You think it's both these that are top of the charts in terms of miltifuel cookers? Great channel btw so helpful all your testing dude
@@NaturalExplorerNZ You're welcome and thank you. Yes... I still believe these are the top 2 multi fuel stoves on the market today
@@jiujitsu2000your vid showing the Optimus Polaris pump with the Whisperlite Uni is probably the best combination of qualities in any stove ever…and if the Whisperlite pot supports could fit a small ‘mug’ size pot then it would be perfect.
I would like to see you test and compare them to the Primus Omnilite Ti though with the 350ml bottle the kit comes with! It wouldn’t last anywhere near as along as a MSR Whisperlite using unleaded gasoline but it’s lighter weight and less bulk make it more versatile particularly when used with the silencer made by Primus
HI sir, can you try used cooking oil instead wd40 or gas to fuel that stove?
Yea vegetable oil would be interesting to see…used vegetable oil can be used in diesel motors after some diy processing so it could be possible 🤔
Dont gotta wprry about pots rusting... but seems like dirtier version of kerosene
Hey bro! Hope you're doing well!!
👍🖖
A little bit off topic but...I remember in one of your videos you were introducing a van you recently purchased. You were walking us through the interior and you mentioned that you've been watching van life videos lately. Here's an idea for some video content related to van life. You should buy an old beater van and flip it J2K style and make a series of it, then use it for cross country road trips. It would be awesome to see yyou build your very own van life vehicle.
Hm. Flame seems pretty rough and yellow..not the hottest flame you could hope for.
Absolutely! I'm always running experiments with different fuels. Thank you!!
It could probably do with a different nozzle. Smaller, perhaps, made for heavier fuels? I'm not really too sure about that "one nozzle for all fuels" idea.
Yeah, no thanks. I'd use bacon grease first
I WOULD STICK TO USING A WOOD FIRE, AS THE CLEAN UP WITH THE RESULTS TOO MUCH WORK ‼️‼️‼️
