Michael, The fuel is Butane, and the instructions are good. Since I was at a steam up I had lots of fellow steamers to help me! I would recommend that you get a goodal valve to replace the filler cap though. That way you can get longer run times. I did that this spring and have not regretted it. Terry Griner Columbus Ohio USA
