Re: [Biofuel] pressure stoves ???
Hi I use a mix of 50% biodiesel and 50% kerosene in an Optimus pressure burner which works well. Am thinking of changing the proportions to less kerosene, but neat BD just made a mess and didn't burn the way it was supposed to (i.e. just a big yellow flame instead of the blue 'roaring' flame) I know it's not ideal as you will have to purchse the kerosene, but it's a step in the right direction. Have yet to try it in my Tilley lamp.

Hello Keith, I am having trouble to find pressure stove suitable for BD. I have browsed through the links from JTF with little sucess. The PETROMAX is quite expensive and is out of stock anyway. others I find come with wick which you say is not working with BD On JTF website you write that your pressure stove is from India. I like that type ( acording to the picters) and would like to buy some (3-5) pieces depending on the price / availability. I would appreciate any info you can give me on the source of yours. (email address, or phone, or fax) I live in Hungary and most of the US websites does not deliver here. I plan to upgrade my 60L reactor to a 250L and I would like to switch from electric heating to an indirect heating system through a heat exchanger that I designed this involves suncollectors, puffer tanks, and presure stoves. I plan to post the design ( if successfull ) so that all can produce BD with minimal or zero energy cost. any help from list members will be appreciated.

Hello Andrés Hello Keith, I am having trouble to find pressure stove suitable for BD. I have browsed through the links from JTF with little sucess. The PETROMAX is quite expensive and is out of stock anyway. others I find come with wick which you say is not working with BD Not as-is anyway. On JTF website you write that your pressure stove is from India. I like that type ( acording to the picters) and would like to buy some (3-5) pieces depending on the price / availability. They cost about US$10 equivalent in India. You can get them locally-made in a lot of countries, but not the industrialised countries. I would appreciate any info you can give me on the source of yours. (email address, or phone, or fax) No information, sorry. These are the only addresses I have: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#lamps Maybe someone in India or the Philippines or Singapore might like to help you. I live in Hungary and most of the US websites does not deliver here. I wonder if there aren't still local factories in Eastern Europe making pressure stoves. I would have guessed there would be, but maybe not. Good luck.

Re: [Biofuel] pressure stoves ???
I have a PetroMax and have had no luck w/ BD. I am not sure if it is the stove or not - I cleaned it and tried petro diesel with no luck, then ISO and got an ok flame. I will try again now that things are warm. FWIW, I never was able to get a flame at all w/ diesel BD or otherwise w/o heating with a torch. -Mike Keith Addison wrote: Hello Andrés Hello Keith, I am having trouble to find pressure stove suitable for BD.

Re: [Biofuel] pressure stoves ???
Should be noted that Petromax is now a generic name for that type of lantern, with quite wide variations available, all called Petromax. BriteLyt makes the original. Their stove is a newer patented design, not generic. I have a PetroMax and have had no luck w/ BD. I am not sure if it is the stove or not - I cleaned it and tried petro diesel with no luck, then ISO and got an ok flame. I will try again now that things are warm. FWIW, I never was able to get a flame at all w/ diesel BD or otherwise w/o heating with a torch. -Mike I think you got a dud though. Let's see what BriteLyt says. They should give you a replacement and an apology, IMO. Best Keith Keith Addison wrote: Hello Andrés Hello Keith, I am having trouble to find pressure stove suitable for BD.
