Two successful test runs so far,including venturing into traffic for a trip to the garage to take on half a tank of fuel (50/50 Petrol Diesel mix - to the consternation of other motorists and garage staff). Next hurdle is refilling the pilot burner fuel tank - preferred fuel is hexane (very clean burning and low boiling point), only 1/2 a gallon left now. Canl't get Hexane round here at an affordable price, so have to try Aspen 4 Akalyte petrol instead (very pure, no additives which clog burners)
