Fuel flame machines are designed to use a combination diesel, petrol, and a fuel thickener. Most machines come with instructions on the appropriate ratios, but some leave this to your creativity.

Can you use pressurised air instead of CO2 in the flame machine?

Theoretically, yes. However, it is cumbersome to attain the required pressure with air. Again, the oxygen in the air poses a fire hazard risk. Carbon (iv) Oxide is used because:

  • It is readily available, making replacement easy.
  • It is cheap.
  • It is very stable.
  • It liquefies at low pressure, making it a secure source of consistent pressure.
  • It is an inert gas, which eliminates the possibility of internal fire.
What are the benefits of canister-based flame machines?

  • They do not require external propane tanks, valves, or trailing pipes.
  • Their firing systems do not comprise of accumulators and internal valves, therefore reducing the possibility of blockages and leakages.
  • They provide a wide range of colours.
  • They use different types of fuels such as butane, propane, ethanol, and methanol.
  • Some of them have a wireless control option.
