But I guess some one in here have the answers anyway. I have got 2 feuerhand older 276, both "Sturmkappe types" but I can't see that make any difference, with or without... First one is a normal type, burns fine on the same fuel i use in a pressurelampe, but is it actuly "the best fuel" in this kind of oil-lamp? The second is also a 276, but with enlarged tank, should the Wick be any different, from one with a normal size tank ? Longer of corse, but would the same size be able to "suck" sufficient fuel from the bottom ? or should there be som kind of "ekstra/helping wick" inside the tank ? I ask this becourse it burns rather badly and "burns the wick" a lot, almost instantly... Hope some can help me "get light in both my new old lamps" :o) Regards, Henrik
@Henrik Jensen Other than my 276 on the left being the non-Sturmkappe type, you’re referring to the larger capacity type on the right suffering from fuel starvation. Firstly, regular kerosene is the correct fuel as with pressure lamps fuelled by that. The width of the wick is the same in both lamps, but in THIS thread ‘pysen78’ explained That said, I suspect your existing wick should be replaced with a fresh one. With a full or near-full tank the wick should perform perfectly well. It’s only when the fuel level gets low that the measure Pysen spoke of is necessary. John
