    Dear participants, I bought a gas lamp converted into an electric one and I want to return it to its original appearance. I previously purchased a similar burner, but it turned out to be smaller. The general principle of operation is clear, but what gas does it run on, at what pressure, the size of the nozzle opening and how should it look in working condition?

    Well I would not put gas in it at all !
    Picture shows a gas burner on a kerosene oil lamp font/tank.
    Putting any gas in it would burn your house down.

    The kerosene oil lamp tank is part of a oil lamp and is missing the lower part which can be a table lamp or a hanging lamp frame.

    Thanks for the answer. I was not going to fill the existing tank with gas, but I wanted to see what a workable lamp should look like, with which cylinder, under what pressure the gas is supplied to the nozzle and what gas?

    Well these burners, like the drawing, do not use a tank, recevoir or cylinder
