Procedure:

CAUTION: Make sure that ther are no open flames in the area when mixing flame fuels! NO SMOKING!!

1. Seperate the egg white from the yolk. This can be done by breaking the egg into a dish and carefully removing the yolk with a spoon.
2. Pour egg white into a jar, bottle, or other container, and add gasoline.
3. Add the salt (or other additive) to the mixture and stir occasionally until gel forms (about 5 to 10 minutes).

NOTE: A thicker gelled flame fuel can be obtained by putting the capped jar in hot (65 degrees Centegrade) water for about 1/2 hour and then letting them cool to room temperature. (DO NOT HEAT THE GELLED FUEL CONTAINING COFFEE!!)
