FAQ
Napalm Mix, a powder-based additive, turns gasoline or diesel into a sticky gel by forming long molecular chains. When added to the fuel, the powder dissolves and forms a network through weak attractions, increasing viscosity and causing the fuel to cling to surfaces, resulting in slower burning.
Napalm Mix is exclusively compatible with the X15 and XL18 flamethrowers due to their CO2 pressurization system, which enables higher fuel flow rates and volume output for effective handling of gelled fuels.
This CO2-driven architecture enables high flow ejection of viscous mixtures without clogging, achieving an extended range (up to 110ft on XL18) and broad fuel compatibility. Pump-based systems, such as the ARC and TF-19, are excellent for standard liquid fuels but are not designed for thickened mixtures.
No—napalm is optional and not required for flamethrower use. Standard fuel mixes like gasoline or diesel/gasoline blends work well for most applications. However, thickened fuels such as napalm offer several advantages that some users may find beneficial:
-
Extended Range – The gel-like consistency creates a tighter, more controlled stream, allowing fire to project farther than standard liquid fuel.
-
Longer Burn – Napalm burns slower, producing a sustained “stick and burn” effect instead of a quick flash.
-
Clinging Fire – The thicker fuel adheres to surfaces, ensuring that targets continue to burn after impact.
-
Hard-to-Burn Targets – Especially effective for stubborn or damp materials such as stumps, brush, or vegetation with moisture, where longer flame contact is needed.
In short, you don’t need napalm—regular fuel is enough—but thickened fuel can enhance range, and burn effectiveness in some scenarios.
Transform ordinary liquid fuels into powerful, gelled fire with our non-toxic, non-hazardous napalm gelling agent. Designed for ease of use, this powder quickly thickens fuel into a syrup-like consistency, creating a longer-lasting, high-performance burn.
-
Easy to Use – No special equipment required. Just stir into your chosen fuel for fast gelling (instructions included).
-
Fuel Versatility – Works best with diesel and diesel/gasoline blends, but is also compatible with Jet A, Jet B, AVgas, and ethanol-blended gasoline.
-
Superior Performance – Thickened fuel sticks to targets, retains viscosity, and burns longer than standard liquid fuels.
-
Safe & Reliable – Non-toxic, user-friendly formula for efficient mixing and consistent results.
Perfect for hard-to-burn materials, such as stumps, brush, and damp vegetation.

Expensive but high-quality
Tyler W (verified owner) –
Works well and an easy way to get more range out of the XL18.
Michael P (verified owner) –
It has been too dry when I had time to run the mix more than once and, I ran out of CO2 before I really had a chance to use it but, from the little time I did use it, it made an outstanding flamethrower even better!
Stephen S –
Easy to apply and makes it even better!!!
Austin R –
Too much fun
Alan E (verified owner) –
Used to mixing in a stainless tank that was grounded and sealed. Thickens well with minor clumping issues.
Martin S –
It wouldn’t completely dissolve in alcohol, gelatinous beads were abundant in fuel mix. That did not impact overall functionality.
Steve B (verified owner) –
It seems you have to add more than the instructions tell you too but I just kept adding until I was happy with the consistency.
Charlie C –
Absolutely worth it.
Tanner R –
Works just like you would think
Todd S (verified owner) –
Even more fun
Neil D (verified owner) –
Good, takes a little playing around to figure out correct proportions, viscosity etc, but thicker is always better. Splattering fire is something you have to see and just take in the awesome about
Scott S (verified owner) –
Simple. Works great
George J –
It’s easy and works outstanding, always use the mix

Napalm requires patience to mix properly and a fine sift helps. Sure does help burn the vine masses all the way up the tree, at least 40 feet. Nothing but ash left.
