Prior to a contest, my compass puked all of its fluid. I had a new
gasket kit but no white kerosene, the fluid recommended by the compass
manufacturer. So I filled it with Bar-B-Q lighter fluid. (The can said
it was kerosene). It was a bit red in color but lasted about 10 years. I
eventually replaced the compass with a new one.

When I bought my glider a year ago there was a PZL Warszawa ll compass
that came with it but was not installed. Looking at it I found that
ther was no fluid in the unit. Looks like a nice little so I thought
I'd refill it an mount it. The problem is that I dodn't know what
type of fluid to use. The PZL website states that it uses "ligroin"
but don't have a clue where to find any of that stuff. Any ideas?
