I have a Dietz and the #80 is available in Canada from Lee Valley....
I wasn't even thinking of Breathe/Campers (also prefer the old name). Thanks! Get a 10% discount there during birthday month (September :-) ) as...
I'm curious which store in Canada sells the 3.78L Coleman fuel for $20. Just paid $26.99 for it at Canadian Tire with a price match to Home Hardware.
And a few more photos from today which I like better :-). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's helpful info. Based on the packaging and age of the lantern, I do suspect the Gold Tops that I ended up with are 20+ years old. Is there a...
Answering my own questions, I found thorough responses in a NUREG/CR-1775 document (applicable screenshots attached). It looks like a camper may...
I cannot edit the post, but just found this on the EPA website (Calculate Your Radiation Dose | US EPA). Annual radiation levels from: - using...

You were right, @Hanzo , slowing down and some sleep did the trick. Set up my sequence of events for the morning after reading feedback received...
Looks like the tightness of the jamb nut did the trick, along with preheating the generator with the globe off. Was amazed how easily it just lit...

[ATTACH] Thank you both. And success :-). Fuel was spewing out of the valve, so that was a nice confirmation. After that I just really made sure...
Funny thing though is that I took everything except for the valve assembly (7) with it's sub-parts (8-14) apart. And as I was able to light the...
Before I do this, can someone please confirm? Obviously with no fuel, but immerse the entire tank, along with valve assembly, generator, and...
Wise words indeed! Yup, was hoping to get it lit for an evening off, but think I better leave it until morning now. Threads felt aligned and...
Update: Took generator apart again. Needle is fine, and connected to L-hook. Tried lighting it again, this time it's definitely hissing, but I...
This is so inspirational for us newbies. Looks great!
