Starting procedure of Petromax500, i like to use this method instead of sometimes risky blowtorch-mode.

In my village, in 90s and early 2000s, it was a preserve of the village tycoons. One had to even have a receipt. Surprising that things have changed so fast and almost every home now has electricity.

Thank you for your video. I went back to my 10 years old in the old fifties when I lived in Moçambique (Africa). There were several places without electricity as beaches, farms, and so on and my father had one Petromax. I can remember it as if it was today. Best regards from Portugal.😀

I have 4 off these lamps, love them, great fun. There are a couple of things to look out for, One is the pricker which can easily bend so be gentle and keep clean, Two and more important is the fuel cap seal. When you release the pressure i suggest that the air is let out slowly as it is a flammable gas that could go into the lamp itself.

@Lerssinen 2 жыл бұрын

I also loosen the fuel cap when lamp is stored away, that keeps the sealant on cap on good condition..

If anyone is still trying to find how to fix there HK500 Petromax lantern. I just did the fix and is was simple. You need to replace the point that is located in the tube going up to the top. Remove the cover and then remove the small nut at the top. Inside is the point. There is a small tool included with a replacement point. Put is the new one and it will work fine.

Very interesting! I'll try this in a few weeks on my lamp. I always pumped the pressure high during preheating with the needle valve closed. And opended it (under full pressure) shortly before the alcohol has burned completely. Sometimes that produced a big flame coming out of the chimney.

I know the feeling, this method can also fail sometimes but the amount of unburned fuel inside lamp is much less than on full pressure.

There is absolutely NO pressure on the tank when the pre-warmer is lighted, i close the filling cap on video before i start pumping.. Just pre-heat with the "cup" and when the cup is almost burned out start pumping slowly, when it lights up start pressurizing the tank. The needle-valve is open all time through process..

The fabric changes its state when its burned first time, its not fabric after that. To turn it off you just simply release the pressure on fuel compartment and the lantern shuts off.

Hello, I'm here after having watched Technology Connection's videos and now I want a lantern. I think I'll go for a Coleman dual-fuel and use petrol since it doesn't require any preheating or buy a Campingaz butane lantern that costs far less than a Coleman or Petromax one But I have a few questions about lanterns in general since I don't have any up to this day: - What about build quality especially for newer Petromax lanterns ? compared to Coleman if you have any of them. I ask because I read from customer reviews that Petromax lanterns are now made in China and of poorer quality than older ones. How true is it ? - Also what are the risks of using the blowtorch on a Petromax ? I have read the user manual of the HK500 or 150 (I don't remember which) and it basically tells that using the blowtorch will cause more wear and tear on the lantern but without further information. Any experience ? - Is it possible to adjust the flame strength and thus brightness on a Petromax like you can on a Coleman ? - What would happen if when you want to turn off the light you were to just close the fuel valve (On a Petromax) instead of depressurising the tank ?

@Lerssinen 2 жыл бұрын

You can shut down this lamp with the nozzle, it keeps the pressure in tank if seals dont leak. Altough it can have a small leak and it leaks the top part of lamp full of lamp fuel and when you try to light it again it can turn into a firestorm. So, when not in use, always pressure down to zero. There is no way to adjust the brightness, it depends on the pressure a bit but not much. We dont have those coleman lamps here in europe so i dont know about how their system works but i have seen same video and it looked an functional device. Only thing that worries me is the very flammable fuel, as lamp fuel is not so flammable on normal circumstances. The chinese Petromax´s usually function okay and their parts are changeable with the standard ones as they are made from same parts all around. Maybe the overall build quality is not so good as original german ones.
