Petrol Jel™
Petrol Jel™ is a liquid gelling agent designed to thicken fuels used in prescribed burning. Petrol Jel™ is specifically formulated to be used at one 4-litre container per 45 Imp/gals of fuel. Setting of the product in the container is normal. Petrol Jel™ goes back into solution very easily when the container is shaken before use.
Petrol Jel™ sets up very quickly especially in warm fuels and may take up to 30 minutes in very cold fuels. Under normal conditions, there is no need to pre-mix Petrol Jel™ until the burn is confirmed.
MIXING
- Ensure mixing drum is clean.
- Agitate the Petrol Jel™ container until the mixture is smooth.
- Add one 4 litre container of Petrol Jel™ to 45 Imp. Gallons of fuel. Stir gently while adding Petrol Jel™.
- Stir mixture gently after all Petrol Jel™ has been added and allow to set up.
Mixtures using Petrol Jel™ do not need to be prepared in advance under normal conditions. The first mixture does not need to be started until the burn is confirmed.
Both SureFire and Petrol Jel™ can be mixed with various fuels including straight gas, Jet B, diesel or a gas/diesel mix. For best results, straight gas is preferred.
For additional information on safety and handling, please refer to the product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets which are available for both products.
