Napalm Mix

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.
