Editing Fire performance (section)

===Fuels===
Nearly all modern fire performance apparatus rely on a liquid fuel soaked in the wick. There are many choices for fuels, which differ in their specific properties. Fire performers select a fuel or a blend of fuels based on safety, cost, availability, and the desirability of various characteristics of the fuel including for example, the colour of flame, and flame temperature. There is also some geographic variance in fuels used, due local availability and price. Some American fire performers use [[white gas]] although most use other fuels due to its low [[flash point]], while British fire performers use paraffin (called [[kerosene]] in the US) or the white gas substitute petroleum naphtha.
