In this video we use Potassium Permanganate to start fires. Potassium Permanganate will directly react with various fuels like glycerol, PEG-based brake fluid, and antifreeze, to start fires. All you have to do is mix them. For less reactive fuels like gasoline and mineral oil. It can be mixed and then a few drops of sulfuric acid added to create manganese heptoxide which is a powerful oxidant and will itself ignite most fuels.
