Just make sure you don't light it by hand. throw something in or just use a little gas (quart) (though I haven't always followed this advice). Never have the can within the vapors distance. Blowing up a can is not a good idea.

I never mix to a certain amount but rather test till I get a suitable mix. Always go weaker with the gas than you think you should and adjust up. Temperature and humidity do make a difference. I have used the same batch of mix several times and once gotten a bit of a "WOOF" effect and the next time nothing but a fast flame.

This study https://www.researchgate.net/public...il_as_an_Alternative_Fuel_in_Driptorches showed 50/50 gas and oil burned 200 degrees hotter and almost as long as 50/50 diesel/gas mix.

Their shop was 400 yards away but the “whoosh” was enough to pull them away from the dirt track car and check out the fireball.....good times. Just be wise about how fast those vapors travel across the ground. It can be amusing but doesn’t need to be at the expense of time in a burn unit.

Listen to this guy more than me. I’ve had drip torches squeal pretty loud when tipped . Better safe than sorry.

Old gas and burnt oil are all you need.... It's all about getting the burnt oil going. If you don't put something with it, I can't get it to light off. If you have some, Old gas works just as good as diesel but like you said, the mixture is more unstable.
