Can I also use the fuel from the motorbike or will I cause a huge explosion?

Well it MAY not explode BUT you will get flames about 6 feet high . 
Try to find methanol or methyl hydrate [same stuff] it doesn't stink like "good old" British meths ,in fact methyl hydrate doesn't smell at all ,truckers use it as air brake line antifreeze .
I've experimented with a few different types of fuel ;my advice would be to stick with methanol ,it burns clean.Some of the other alcohols release a lot of soot when burnt .
BTW the Swedish Army Trangia is great used over an open fire ,like a billy can .
