GelFire Systems introduces GELFIRE a 2-part gelling agent that is recommended for the GelFire Terra Torch ground ignition system, Heli Torch and drip torches. GELFIRE is identical to

Flash 21 gelling agent and is available for shipment in the US and will be available in Canada soon.

GelFire effectively gels (thickens) gasoline, diesel, Jet A, B, and aviation gasoline creating a superior ignition product. GELFIRE is very stable and will not settle out and mixes into the recommended fuel products easily and quickly.

Gelled fuels improve ignition by increasing the fuels’s ability to burn longer creating a hotter longer fire. Gelled fuel allows a longer firing stream when using the GelFire Terra Torch and gelled fuel is safer to handle than non-gelled fuel products.
