As a lot of you might have noticed, many kerosene burning items have a very small filler opening, perhaps to reject a gas nozzle :^). The old ones at least,...
Hi Curt and all, I have had the same experience with modern kerosene cans.. One thing that I really like, is a modern battery powered pump that fits down...
has anyone had much experience burning mineral spirits.it is about a dollar a gal. cheaper than kerosene here. but it has a definite odor when burning.so am...
Hello guys.. I am with you on this transfering kero/fuel thru small openings.. A real pain & mess.. I save a few of the gallon coleman cans, blue tape them &...
Hi Curt, Well thanks for a new topic. Yes that is a very interesting subject. Often I find that an older lamp or worse, coleman house lamp, will have such a...
Curt, The word funnel comes to mind here. Maybe more of a hassle, but cheaper than those "antique" kero cans. I fill all of my Coleman lanterns, and...
Bruce, That is another pertinent topic. I hate most of the new Kerosene cans they are now selling.. Safety tops that are impossible to screw on and off. Some...
Check out the quart and gallon containers gear lube is packaged in. Also Google "carboy with spigot". I found more than plenty enough different pieces,...
Yeah, a funnel will get more in the tank. But often the opening is at an angle and it takes three hands if the funnel won't stand up. And then you need to put...
It does make you wonder if the guys who make these things ever tried to use them. Dumb engineering is a pet peeve of mine. Regards cww Bruce Arnold wrote: Hi...
... I used low oder mineral spirits in a Perfection bail heater once and I noticed it put out a smell like you would smell if you just fired up a heater that...
I bought a gallon of Sunnyside brand low odor mineral spirits as an experiment. It seemed to burn a little cleaner than the locally available pump kerosene in...
Lurch and all, I beg to differ. Methanol is ALCOHOL and while I don't have tech specs {volatility, flash points, etc.}at hand as I write this, I do know that...
Perhaps the burner assembly was modified by the shop guys or something? Or there's a alky-burning version available? The heaters looked like a Corona 23DK...
There's currently a 'dual mantle' Aladdin heater on an auction site. It looks to use the same burner assemblies and wick as an Aladdin mantle lamp, with the...
Lurch, The heater you mentioned does not use mantles. Just burns blue flames inside the metal chimneys. I have a single-burner which I think is a Model 51. I...
It looks interesting and not something I have seen before. It has the look of the ivanhoe stove burner chimney with aladdin burners. The way the seller...
I agree, the burner bust have been different that the kero-burner in some way. Using Alchohol in a quantity larger that 2 or 3 tablespoons in a gallon of...
Had to have been somehow different. I'm thinking of my little Trangia stove, [which is the commercial version of teh soda-can alcohol backpacker stove], and...
Aladdin made many heater models using a wick similar to but different than their lamp wicks. Diameters included 1" and 2", and with various "ladder"...
I agree with Marty. Even 2 or 3 tablespoons of alcohol per gallon kerosene will raise the flame temperature sufficiently to cause a fiberglass wick to melt on...
A Corona 23DK has such an efficient catalytic converter that you should not notice a difference between mineral spirits and kerosene. Where Low Odor Mineral...
I'm about ready to call the terminal I used to haukl out of and ask the shop guy what the heck they did to those heaters to run them on methanol. If I get any...
I've been playing with my Auto Motor Heater...which has a wick to carry the kerosene fumes up to the 'combustion chamber' which is composed of two concentric...
Does anyone here have a Jungers heater they could shoot some high-res pics of the parts? I found what I could in the files section but am not entirely clear...
