I want to make a gelling agent for diesel. i cant find a cheap alternative, so i decided to make it. how do i do it?
P.S. im using it for a flamethrower, so it must stay semi-fluid.

Why wouldn't you use gasoline? Heck, I knew kids who were making gelled gas in high school. They just dissolved Styrofoam in gas.

use gas or high proof alcohol. there are plenty of additives to obtain a gel like substance. soap, wax, gelatin, and lye are some off of the top of my head. also, this is a viable option >>1151426

a note if you use soap or wax, flake it and add it slowly while shaking/stirring. never use heat. proportions vary for each substance, but add slowly until desired thickness

If you're the same stupid fuck that was talking about this a couple weeks ago and couldn't figure out (meaning Google) how the barrel works on a flame thrower: please, for the love of God OP, please live stream this. I really, really want to see this shit go down, after everyone has told you don't fucking do it. Please. I'd even accept videos of any "tests" you do, because I know you'll be strapped in even for those.

Kerosene and polystyrene is the original napalm used in bombs and flamethrowers.
