In Australia something is added to kerosene to colour it blue.... to discourage kids from confusing it with water i guess.not sure what it is but.try fire water fireboy... it has no taste or odour.

You can buy lamp oil here that has dye in it to colour it blue, green, red, etc.After some research and asking people we discovered it's pretty much safe dye's so we use the red for our stage show...that way people won't know what we're using making emulation is difficult, though not impossible.I couldn't tell you if it's the same there though as here.------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...

try using low oudor kerosine available only in the land down under from woolworths or you can buy it of the manufacturer (reochem) for a higher price than woolworths... it tastes like noting... smells a bit.. but nothing in comparision to yuk blue stuff. If you are in brisbane "beware" a group called google warming are selling "fire water" Warning.....WARNING WARNING thier fire water is only rebottled and relabeled pegasol.
