Diesel Powered Pressure Mantel Lanterns - Prepping 101

[@thebigfellar7178]

After your video , I'll guard my propane lantern with my life.

[@johncereijo6706]

😅😂😂😅🤣

[@jfarmall77]

I highly recommend you try a Coleman gas or kero lantern they are great fun

[@wemcal]

Great video... wonderful lantern

[@markhopkins7920]

Nice video, thank you for making this ! I have the Britelyt and Petromax versions and these type of lanterns are awesome for shtf scenarios I would think. The new low sulpher diesel works very well and you are right there is very little smell involved. I give the pre-heater 45-60 seconds (longer in cold weather, adding pressure as required)

[@DIGGERC]

I have exact lantern and had essentially zero luck with diesel. There was fire but so much black smoke the globe was opaque in minutes but it works wonderfully on kerosene.

Where do You put the DEF??

[@LoftechUK]

I just bought a brand new unused one boxed. Can’t wait to use it.

[@hardtruth2039]

Just ordered a Sea Anchor 950 from your link w/ all of the extras. I like Dietz hurricane lanterns for “quiet light” but wanted a bright work lamp. Looking forward to receiving it.

[@kurtg5645]

Damn, y'all rich, a 950 usually cost about 40 USD( shipping not included)

[@ObamaoZedong]

@@kurtg5645 where do you find them at that price?

[@browndogstt8546]

In my experience diesel fuel has a very short storage life. No1 diesel and kerosene are better but #2 diesel is mixed with biodiesel and it starts growing algae in just a few months. The advantage to propane is it has an unlimited shelf life. The advantage to diesel is your could siphon fuel from every military vehicle in a shtf situation. Probably better have both.

[@GunsAmericaTube]

That can had been sitting for five years. You can put in pri-d if you are concerned.

[@browndogstt8546]

@@GunsAmericaTube can you make a video doing maintenance on the lantern? The unsuspecting person who runs old #2 diesel through the lantern will need to know how to clean the generator when it gets plugged up.

[@GunsAmericaTube]

Possibly, but probably on the new griddown channel not this one. It does come with nipple picks and a spare nipple.

[@hardtruth2039]

Diesel stores for an easy 2 years when stored properly. I treat my diesel with PRI-D that has an algaecide in it.

[@Bucky1836]

@@GunsAmericaTube have u tried the pressure stove? Looks like the lantern but with jet burner...i got 6 butterflys put up 😅

[@teslatrooper85]

So the Sea Anchor is just another Petromax 829 copy. The stainless burners are problematic because the steel expands when hot and damages the brass threads, not because the ceramic ones breaks

[@jfarmall77]

My petromax experience so far has been very poor compared to Coleman. The petromax is so particular and destroys mantles almost every other light

[@teslatrooper85]

@@jfarmall77 That sounds strange. Mine uses the same mantle for 2 years now.

[@johncereijo6706]

Start OVER . Just START OVER. That was tough to watch. Delete and Begin Again. Good Luck !

[@albertday6952]

Diesel will clog up lamps and also release harmful additives ... I do not use it ... did for a while but was causing trouble for me

[@jfarmall77]

I have been curious how they would do if you mixed some Coleman fuel in the diesel I mix a little Coleman fuel in my kerosene Coleman and it keeps it burning much cleaner

[@TraceyAllen]

Diesel has more paraffin than kerosene and additives as mentioned before. Pump kerosene will be dirtier than the store bought stuff.

[@07huaste]

Good video tkss

[@yose838]

use ethanol or methanol will be better,no polution and more brighter

[@JMGeranimo]

Is this the Ali version? petromax has deceptive advertising and are way more.

[@TraceyAllen]

That because the petromax is the original, and the rest are copies. And petromax are still made in Germany, so they actually pay their employees a fair wage, unlike the Chinese knockoffs.

👍🇺🇲

[@ronwillems5692]

All wrong , you have to burn the new wick completly and than wait until the wick glows a little with pre heating , takes prox 1 to 2 minutes , and than slowly turn the valve , otherwise you get flames .

[@Brian99th]

Original product is not this name it is called PETROMAX

[@mayhampol7818]

I want!

[@BartNewbold]

Good video but the sound quality not so good

[@mrjimschanel8373]

1k or k1 kerosene works much much better in a sea anchor brand pressure lamp.

[@RadDadisRad]

Fuck burning diesel in a lantern. It’s absolutely terrible for fumes. I’d rather burn kerosene or jet A or fuel oil.

[@BenBartlow]

I'd say it would be better for outdoor use then or if you have no other option?

[@italianrelic]

Ya fuck diesel 🤮

[@GunsAmericaTube]

As explained, there are no fumes with modern diesel. It is indistinguishable.

[@markhopkins7920]

I was very surprised when I bought this new low sulpher diesel and tried it in 2 pressure lanterns- it had virtually NO smell to it. And it burned brighter than Crown Kerosene and at half the price ( Which, unfortunately is changing)

[@marcopruscini1603]

Burns much to rich on diesel.

[@stevewilliamson8526]

Try olive oil then
