    Will Petromax jets and needles fit the same CP size Hipolito lanterns eg will Petromax 250 jets/needles fit 250 Hipolito lanterns? Common sense says this should work (as Hipolito factory produced last run of petromax lanterns) ....can someone confirm. Kindest regards Peter

    Yup they do.
    Or better they should.

    But as always there is no guaranty. The clay burner head also should but I have had new ones which where in thread and amount of holes.
    I can't see where you from but buy from a known seller like hytta.de or base-camp uk.

    Thanks Wim and John for your replies. I had a nagging thought that I may have read somewhere that they don't fit (perhaps your link above John)...I am hoping
    that the rest of the series (250,350,500) do accept the Petromax jets/needles as these can be relatively easily sourced. I hope other members will chime in with their experiences.

    Kindest regards Peter

    I have many versions of both types, never had an issue with Hipolito not accepting Petromax parts.
