Greetings from a new member.

I apologize if this has been discussed already.

I have recently found an old Optimus 199 that I had forgotten about (long story). What I can't remember about it is what fuel it uses; naphthylated gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, et.c.?

I am in the process of locating a rebuild/parts kit for it already as I wish to add it to my arsenal of camping stoves. It would compliment my Trangia 25 very well, especially if it burns alcohol.

I love the concept of using Clear Springs grain alcohol for fuel.
