    Here is a standard donut 592
    The pictures dont show the scale of the lamp but it is really small.
    The tank is 9 inches diameter
    From top eye to reflector is 14 inch with the glass on its 20 inch overall so really small lamp. Running on parrafin will be about 300cp i think.
    The lamp came as a non runner blocked solid with carbon which took quite some getting out. Drilled out what i could the heat and quench finally resorting to getting the generator bright red and blasting it with compressed air to clear the loop.
    It did not have a jet with it so i modified a petromax jet and runs ok with that now, had it running 4 hours today never needed attention.

    Nice!

    How much fuel would you normally put in the tank for a full run?


    Cheers

    Thanks, Pete.

    I was pondering how long it would run, as you had described it as small.

    It certainly is a fine lamp.


    Cheers
