    Great news,

    I found a supplier of products PETROMAX.

    http://www.pelam.de/index.php?cPath=28

    Anyone know this provider? Are they PETROMAX with German quality?

    Petromax have never stopped being manufactured but they have not been made in Germany for a long time. They were made by Hipolito in Portugal for a while after production ceased in Germany and since around 1995 ish they have been made in Hong Kong and no they are not German quality. Pelam and Hyta in Germany import them from HK and so do Brite Lyte in Florida USA. ::Neil::

    You can buy a brand but not it's quality....

    Which doesn't say anything about quality but they ain't made in Germany.
