There was ‘regent super green’ and ’alladin pink’ too, all the same stuff just different dye, isn’t it basically jet aircraft fuel too ?I remember having a paraffin stove similar to that as a kid. Fitting a refilled tank to it, terrified Mum. I think it was dumped after she tried to fill it when hot. Or it could have been the mess spilt Esso Blue ( Bom bom bom bom) made in the kitchen.
That 1963 winter, in a badly (none) insulated council flat, is a memory that will stay with me forever.
Kids today? Don't know their born. Humffff
The Esso Blue was delivered by a bloke who had an old Morris Commercial van with a large fuel tank fitted in the back.
His second vehicle was a Bedford CA icecream van.
