Thanks for the review, I really dig your work
The robust fuel slurping capabilities should make it the ideal choice for a vehicle emergency stove. However, you really don't want those nasty fumes from ordinary car gaz or diesel in your passenger compartement.
Cracking the windows on the leeward side should get you by for carbon monoxide, but I'm less sure about the fumes from the combustion/partial combustion of anti-knock additives. I'd want someone with some more sophisticated equipment to run a test on this. HOWEVER, given a choice between hypothermia and risking fumes, I'd take the risk.
There is also a significant fire danger from priming a liquid fueled stove, a risk that can be to some degree mitigated by priming with alcohol. Even with alcohol, priming a liquid fueled stove in a passenger car poses a significant risk.
...with less than optimum fuels you really want to monitor the stove's performance and probably de-clog it rather frequently.
Yes.
