Hi, everyone. Some days ago I bought a Petroman 807. For my surprise it is very different than his brother Petromax, I send some photos, regards.
The straight vaporiser with the small tip/jet should be used with petrol/gasoline in my opinion. If you try to search for Petroman images, you should be able to identify the features of your lantern.
Thank you Jeff. Martin, I find a page where is excelent information about these lanterns. The vaporiser is the only one, to be used with gasoline you must use a protector in order to reduce de temperature in the vaporiser, regards. Infoseite: Petroman - Vergleich zur Petromax
@Leonardo Collares That is the website of Jürgen Breidenstein, who is a well-known collector in Germany. He has extensive knowledge of Petromax and the whole Graetz history.
Interesting that it seem to use the same size jet/nipple for either fuel. Do you have one of the heatsheilds ? Excellent website !
Hi Fireexit, no, but I use kerosene. Im trying to fix the torch of the petroman but is difficult there are not spare parts for that Regards
