I converted a 220 and a 200a to kerosene a couple years ago, they'll burn diesel too if you preheat well enough. In the end I think the designed-for-kerosene lanterns do better with the stuff although they tend to be less common and more expensive. I haven't bought any lanterns in so long I can't remember the last one I bought. I figured with 5 or more waiting in line to get fixed I probably shouldn't be buying more.
"Sportster" you mean a 502? I've got one, its okay. I've got an Optimus 8R I like a lot more, see it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQZ-07MMaJU I'd consider selling my 502 if you're serious. I've even got the box and original instructions. It was maybe used twice when I got it, I've used it maybe 5 times. Probably 2 quarts of fuel total in its life. -Curt Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:49:51 -0400 From: John Reames <jwrea...@comcast.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Leaking watering can Message-ID: <84825031-7b17-4e45-ae39-483a0774e...@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I've only got 1 Coleman, a circa 1974 dual mantle that has been converted to kero. I also have a somewhat new-ish (maybe 1980's?) 2 burner stove. I wouldn't mind having a sportster tho. -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
