Fuel gel is a relative newcomer to the survival fuel arena, but its applications are many and it is safer than most alternatives.
This is important if your survival situation lasts more than just a localized power outage after a storm; here is how to make it.
How to Make Gel Fuel with Soy Wax
If you choose to use the soy wax, just follow some simply steps:
Melt 6 ounces of soy wax in a pan.
Add 1/2 cup 70-99% isopropyl alcohol (higher percentage is better if you can find it) and stir until completely combined.
Pour the mixture into 6 soup cans or pet food cans until they’re about 3/4 of the way full then add a wick that goes to the bottom of the gel fuel.
Cool in the fridge for several hours or overnight, and then it’s ready to use.
If you’d rather store in quantity, you can put it in gallon jugs. Just make sure that you label it well so that nobody mistakes it for water or something else and store it away from children and pets.
In addition to knowing how to make gel fuel with soy wax, you can also learn how to make gel fuel with calcium acetate. As we mentioned earlier, this is a great option as it won't give off deadly emissions and even though it'll smell while you're making it (don't say we didn't warn you), it'll be worth it in the end.

Scam!
I get taken to a page to buy toyotas
Homemade napalm (like Sterno fuel) = dissolve a whole bunch of Styrofoam into gasoline until it becomes like Jello.
Is there a need for fuel stabilizer I’m that as well if stored for prolonged amount of time?
Cool

For my own use, I take an empty tuna or cat food can, coil a strip of cardboard like a clockspring inside the can, then pour in melted paraffin (Takes about 1/4 pound.) The can fits in foldable camp stoves for Sterno, and burns for about 2 hours.
Much less mixing and measuring, and the components are available in any grocery.
We should try this Sarah Dixon
It’s not a scam you probably clicked on the thing
Do you need a wick in something like that, or does the whole facing burn, or what? I like to try this, I’ve got (access to ) all of the components . . .
You just light the cardboard above the paraffin.

Isn’t that basically naplam?
Gel fuel, is that PC for napalm?
If you live in a place where it gets cold and snow storms suddenly occur making travel treturious, it’s wise to carry a can of Fuel Gel in the glove box of your vehicle. If stranded, a can can keep you warm for 4 – 6 hours depending on the type you purchase. Common sense says crack the window a tad for fresh air and safety.
“Common sense” is a very fluid construct these days.
