Also, I believe the jets on stoves are sized to the fuel they are designed to burn. Could be a problem there too. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=oa-2115-d> This email is safe. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=oa-2115-d> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 12:17 AM, Larry Yake <larryyake@gmail.com> wrote:
You might have trouble getting it to dump out. I know a guy who has one of those stoves and he carries it upside down, attached to the bottom of one of his hatch covers, when he's not using it, and the alchohol does not leak out at all. There is some sort of absorbent material inside that holds the fuel in suspension.

Stove not ruined, unless there's some parts in it that would be damaged or dissolved by the mineral spirits.
Pour it out into a safe container as Bob says, then let the stove sit outside opened up (whatever that looks like for your stove) and let whatever you can't pour out fully evaporate. Then give it some alcohol and test that it's OK.
cheers, John S.

I accidentally filled my stove with the mineral spirits instead of

alchohol... advise please. Can I just burn it off? Is it ruined?
