| Many Australian bees have been known to use Shellite in place of VM&P Naptha. |

Most New Zealanders carry "white spirits" stoves. Fuel can easily be purchased at service stations (garages) or hardware shops. The fuel is sometimes known as Shellite, Callite, or Pegasol. It is best to explain what you are using it for. Methylated Spirits (alcohol) is easily found. It is sold with a purple tinge to identify it. Kerosine (paraffin) is also available. The huts in the Mt Cook and Westland National Parks have stocks of Kerosene. Bluet gas is available in most camping shops, while the screw type gas cylinders can now be found. "Epigas" as Butane or as a Butane/Propane mix are in some camping shops.

| Shellite is not xylene. They are totally different. Shellite is a simple hydrocarbin with a boiling point ~70C i think and Xylene (dimethylbenzene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a boiling point of ~120C i'm pretty sure. They are definately not the same xylene the better NP solvent as it pulls alot more than shellite will. |
