junglechef Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Where can I buy kerosene? Just need a few liters. Thanks, JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 What's your application? In many cases diesel (or even Jet-A) can be substituted for kerosene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Best find the Thai name. I discovered that turpentine is called 'thinners' here, and there are various grades. It smells very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 A translations would be great to help me, I was actually hoping someone might provide it along with a location where to purchase. I want to soak my bicycle chain and rear cassette and am not looking for substitutes as I have various other products already but want to try kerosene as it leaves a coating that inhibits rusts. There is a detailed discussion on TV Cycling in Thailand forum (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/793611-chain-cleaning-solution/) if anyone wants to contribute. It's quite an interesting thread and as usual I find there so much more to a topic then I initially imagined esp. with the all the well intended misinformation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puwa Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 "Nam man gas" or น้ำมันก๊าซ is the correct term, I use it all the time to buy kerosene at local hardware stores. Note that the pronunciation of "gas" in Thai is something like "gaat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has slightly heavier oils in it than Kerosene but then that is what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK they are the same thing, in the USA they are not. Its very confusing. Getting any more specific will be difficult. Learn something every day. The official term is Kerosene, and is used in all the refineries for storage and in laboratory testing data sheets. As you say, the UK calls it paraffin: I'm surprised that's what the Thais call it too. Australia, NZ, PNG all call it kero, Indonesia 'minyak tanah' (earth oil). I suppose they use this in the pressure Tilley/Aladdin lamps here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Life Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think its called Nam Man Takien, which I think translates as lamp oil. As others have said its available at some hardware stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellboy218 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 At least one of the shops in the market at the top of Suthep Road used to sell botles of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks everybody! I bought this what say's " Nam Man Gad" at my local hardware store.

Wish I had asked my gardener as we had some to use for our torches that we light for parties etc. Glad you found what you wanted. I know 'nam' means liquid, but do you know what 'man' and 'gad' mean? Does anyone know if there is such a thing as an English/Thai/English technical dictionary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Nam Man means Oil and Nam Man Gadd translates to (Water) Oil Gas Oyster Sauce is Nam Man Hoy so maybe since the flavor is extracted from the shell and oil from the ground ... then again maybe not ?? Anyways it worked great on my chain, hope I don't get confused and lube with Oyster Sauce next time Edited February 14, 2015 by junglechef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglechef Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Again thanks for the help but what can you do for me now? As the kerosene worked well after removing my chain and chainwheel and soaking them for a while it still took lots of elbow grease to remove the waxy build up from using a wax lube. I've been advised to try turpentine as it's stronger but will need to lube after a short air dry to evaporate it off. Anyone have any experience with it?

masuk Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 You could try diesel. Make sure you use chain saw bar lube when you're cutting next, as it is designed to stay on the chain, and not fly off. aahh! Reminds me of having to thin a tree or two on the farm, and cut and split 8 tonnes before it dries out and hardens. The joys of cutting Aussie hardwood to keep the slow combustion stove going through the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience with it? yes using turps to clean a chain today, 150bht 3liter tin, works well i have a chain scrubber for my pushbike, makes it very easy and less messy just need to find one for my mocy chain diesel is cheaper but more oily which i dont want, as i use a proper chain lube and dont want the diesel residue in the chain. saw you were saying not much experience with servicing in the other thread, i have pdf of a bike maintenance book, its quite good, might be helpful pm me email if you want me to send it cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
