I have some Colemans spirit here that I hope is still sufficiently

[1] I had a quick look on the Tilley web site and realised I don't
believe I have the lighter thing. I think I've just poured spirit into
the cup bit and lit it that way (or was it meths)?

Isn't "Colemans spirit" a refined petrol like fuel? Pretty sure
Tilley lamps run off parrafin, some what less volatile and meths to
preheat the lamp.

There doesn't look to be a very big bowl for the meths and it's quite
a way from the burner. A lighter thing might make lighting the lamp
quicker and easier.
