Well, I did eventually get one. Petromax still post to the UK at a reasonable rate so I bought one direct from them. I really like it! It...
My gap seems to be set at around 10mm, and I’ve never been brave enough to adjust it! I get a brilliant white light when using Coleman #11...
Hi. Does anyone use one of these side reflectors / heat shields for the dual fuel lanterns? Are they any good? I’ve read some reviews that say...
Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. That could be quite a drawback.
Another question - the instructions recommend 30 pumps before lighting, but should I give it a few more pumps once it gets going??
Ha! I think I’ve got some similarly cheap ones off EBay! I’ve fallen out with AliExpress, as their ‘tracking’ information is blatantly fake
Cool, thanks! Just found some 21 instaclips on Ebay at a reasonable price. This lantern addiction certainly catches up on you, doesn’t it??
Well, the lamp is working perfectly on first lighting, with the remains of half a tank of petrol that it came filled with!! My next question -...
Thanks! I’ve found that my local car spares place stocks Holts at a reasonable price, so I will be getting some and giving that a go! Amazingly,...
Thank you all for the information! A think a trip to the local car Wilco is in order, to read the labels on their brake cleaners!

Thanks - I’m definitely wary of using petrol, for a number of reasons! I think I’ll try a small bottle of Coleman fuel, which I can probably sneak...
So, last night after a couple of homebrewed ciders I bought a Coleman multifuel lantern on a whim on EBay as I thought it was a great price, and...
Ha! Yes, it’s definitely quite a creepy place at night. It’d be hard to run away carrying this lantern…..
Thanks! I shall look out for some of those. I can see some Optimus 4a on EBay at a reasonable price
I haven’t, yet! I can see a few on EBay, but the international postage is prohibitive!
Yes, it’s an Anchor 909. Certainly a bit on the heavy side, but bright enough for me!
I’ve tried a few different mantles, and Coleman 11 are definitely the best. There are some listed on Amazon, but the reviews suggest that they may...
I’ve been meaning to get out into the woods with my pressure lamp for some time now, and finally had chance to do it tonight. Walking with a...
Assuming that my problem is some kind of recurring blockage in the vapouriser/fuel pipe, something that I can’t get to with just the tip of a jet...
