Of Course, Geoff Hi Gary et al. I would differ n the point that a Meths (WICK) fire is a constant fire - It is definately not so. The meths fire does have a maximum firing rate (Heat Output), when the wicks are delivering the maximum flow rate of spirit to the area where it is vapourised

Harry, Thanks for the feedback (and Thanks from everyone else as well). This, of course leads another question. snipCould the bottom water glass bush in the backhead also service the pressure gauge? It could but you don't want it to. The gauge is best taken off a high (dry) bush, or

Hmmm, again from the prototype world, the pressure gauge is generally taken off a high spot in the boiler. My experience has been off the high side of the barrel with a pig tail and shut off valve. This would measure the actual STEAM pressure of the boiler. In taking my boiler license tests

The pig tail I thought was to protect the gauge from the heat of the steam so that pressure causes the little tube (what is the name of that damn tube) to move and not heat expansion. J.R. It is the Bourdon tube. Keith Taylor

My understanding is that the stinken tube is made from brass sheet and the seam is soft soldered and needs to be kept coolish, hence the pigtail to keep the gauge isolated from the heat. Since the pressure gauge is pretty important it's placed close to the engineer's eyeballs, so the pigtail needs
