Two not quite normal issue :)
1) How to fill this miracle
2) does not imply whether petrol
I understand made on the principle of eternal matches, but there it is twisted, and here as?
Wahler, tucked it underneath (but I have not experienced for flowability).
Made not on the basis of eternal match, no. On a string at the end of a conventional wick, tuck it into the top hole and strike sharply wheel, it lights up.
A gasoline comes through lace?
No, wick "park" in the side hole and just there wetted with gasoline.
Here it also wanted to know how this hole and does not follow?
So there's wool inside :)
Yes, damn it thought there tank :)
