This is a Camping Gaz Lumogaz T 206 butane/propane lamp. It came from the estate of @kerry460. Not my usual cup of tea, but necessary when staying in a heritage mountain-hut where liquid fuelled devices are not permitted. Late 1980s advertisement. [Source: Stepping Stone Vintage Ads] Cheers Tony
Thanks Tony giving out plenty of light and some heat as well judging by the paint blisters although perhaps they are from something else are you camping at the mo then? I hadn’t given a thought about the sealing washers on these until i read the thread that @presscall posted where he fettled the Veritas butane table lamp cheers p
Ironic that a ‘gassie’ with perished seals can potentially present significant fire hazard too. Gas appliance safety check-up. John
John I am much more concerned about using lpg/propane/butane than kerosene in these and other environments, having seen the spectacular display of a propane stove rupturing at the burner connection. And also, the aftermath of a yacht's engine igniting bottom-dwelling propane leakage. The rule stems from a few incidents in recent years where both of the following happened in the huts in the Tasmanian World Heritage Area: Persons filling Trangia burners while the burner is still alight; Persons from USA putting Coleman fuel into Trangia burners. One of the tables outside the huts we were staying in has a beautifully etched depression in the table that exactly fits a Trangia 25. I'd say the metho burned underneath the stove for quite some time before it was noticed. Cheers Tony @presscall
difficult to know what to say really? regarding any heavier than air gases in Any boat there will be clear guidelines regarding said gases even so tragedies still happen sadly
Many years ago I had a static caravan in the Lake District. For aesthetic reasons most folk kept their gas cylinders in rustic wooden sheds next to their caravans. One year this became verboten and henceforth the cylinders had to be kept outside. The reason? - some wazzock in the camping field had tried to replace the EN417 Standard Type 200 gas cartridge (shown above) in his stove without turning it off beforehand. The tent burned out completely in less than 30 seconds. You can't fix stupid...
