Is that asbestos in the metho stove burner tube ???

I was pulling apart the burners on a Maxie metho stove (2 burner) and noticed there is a wick of fine white fibers (asbestos or fiberglass) that must filter the fuel before it gets to the flame control valve.

Does anyone know if the fiber stuff is asbestos or fiberglass ?

The stove is an old one of unknown vintage 70's perhaps.
