Question 1

Could i use this as a tent warmer or do you need good ventilation as out side use

Accepted Answer

In a word NO - 
Unless you want to be burned alive like a kebab in your sleeping bag. Tents are highly flammable as is most outdoors kit nowadays, I would strongly recommend that any stove, fire or flame is kept a safe distance away from your tent (even cooking in the vestibule is risky). This amazing burner is an alcohol stove burner and as such has the inherent risks of the fumes as well as the risk of spilling the fuel while it is lit, let alone the hot flame setting the whole tent on fire. Also the fact that any flame eats up O2 (which you need to live) and produces CO2 (which can kill you), so yes it requires proper ventilation (like me when I fart).
If you want something to keep you warm at night the following is a good list of non-burn-victim alternatives that I would recommend (not in any particular order of preference): water-bottle with hot water in a sock, chemical hand-warmers, A jumper/hat/gloves/socks....etc., massive sleeping bag, big duvet, insulation from the ground, a dog (I prefer ones that don't fart as much), girlfriend (I prefer ones that don't fart as much, or complain about me farting).

Hope this is of help and helps avoid you burning to death.

Question 2

Does anyone have any idea of the liquid capacity of the stove, I want to buy a plastic fuel bottle that will hold 2 refills worth

Accepted Answer

Volume: max. 70 ml (burner should be filled up to 2/3)

Question 3

What is the width of the base please - my cooker takes a burner upto 6.5cm wide?

Accepted Answer

My Trangia burner is 7.0 cm diameter across the base.

Question 4

What fuel is used with this? I know its alcohol but which is best, cleanest etc and available on amazon?

Accepted Answer

Best to have a look at the Trangia website. They have a very nice explanation of the different suitable fuel types. 
In the UK you are most likely going to be using Meths (methylated spirits) as it is the easiest type to get hold of. In the UK they tend to dye this purple to help identify it as not for drinking.

Hope that helps.
