Naphtha is also known as Coleman or Crown camping fuel. Most Walmarts
nationwide are currently offering Crown Camping Fuel for $7.64/gal.
And yes, it is HIGHLY inflammable, even more so than automobile
gasoline. Naphtha has an octane rating around 50, which means is is
much more volatile than auto gas. It is a great cleaner, though ...
just use it as advised outside and well away from any ignition source.
