I have owned a couple of high-dollar Petromax/Britelyt pressurized lanterns. I found those expensive brands to be overly complex and prone to failure. For our emergency lighting, we settled on; A. the small Fueurhand kerosene lanterns (German made and easily maintained), B. Aladdin lamps (without the Genie) for indoor use, and C. Coleman kerosene and dual fuel lanterns for outdoor use (Simple construction, easy to rebuild). I do recommend using Peerless mantles instead of the Coleman brand for a brighter light output. Thanks for the video.
welcome. apparently you were in youtube purgatory for some reason. The government must be trying to silence the sayer of truths. Allow me to give your voice back, my brethren!
My favorite lantern is Coleman 226. It is needed when there is no need to cover a large area. You can bring this lantern in your jacket pocket and put it in the center of the table. Only Coleman has such a compact lantern. Or rather, it was
This lantern is basically larger version of 288 and I owned 220e (5/60), 220f (12/69), 220J (5/77) and 288 (3/01). Currently repairing both of my 228e (7/60) and 228f (12/66) the big hats with white porcelain bottom of the vent plus green top.
Old ones are more complicated to fire up initially but a much better valve design with no schrader valve or orings prone to failure like the newer ones
when there out fuel and you put new fuel in it takes it abit for the gas get all the way threw the filter,it should light every time now,unless you run out fuel and let it set some time than it do this again.it like the paprer filter dry out and you have wait for it to get pass the filter.
I've been buying my Peerless mantles through American Mantles not realizing they were Yttrium. How can I find Thorium mantles in the US? Thank you for the video.
The first thing to tell anyone that buys a mantle lantern is the first burn looks like a runaway flash off fire, as the mantles cook off to become the web of ash. Lasts 30 seconds...don't try to put it out or you'll damage the new mantle. It us good you showed first fire with the roof and chimney glass off. That is correct. After that first burnaway never touch the mantles again. They are just powder and ash now.
I'm pretty confident I know what the OP did wrong with the lighting. There wasn't enough air pressure to force the fuel up through the generator. He comments as he is closing the pump to hold your thumb over the air hole, but I question based on his hand position if he was covering this hole while pumping. The camera microphone does pick up some hissing which is a sign of at least some pressure in the tank, but I really question if it was enough. If you ever have some question whether you have an issue (such as a bad pump), just unscrew the gas cap. If it releases quite a bit of pressure after pumping, the pump is fine. But if the pressure release is minimal you either have a bad pump or you pumped it incorrectly to begin with. Another point about the pumping. Even with the air hole covered, it should pump smoothly. If you got a lot of resistance, there is an issue. I will say this. I own two 295a lanterns and a single burner camp stove. Last year I replaced the pump on one of the lanterns (worked like a champ afterwards) and probably today I'm going to be replacing the pump on the camp stove due to a failure to light during a recent test. The online vendor I go through rarely has the replacement pumps in stock. So I do suspect these pumps are high failure items. Other than a gummed up lantern from using low quality gasoline instead of white gas, there really isn't anything else that can go wrong with them.
Not quite, the op did pump the gas correctly, his issue was the generator wasn’t hot enough to vaporize the gas being pushed up through it, because once lit, there were flames for the first few seconds, flames are an indication of flooding, in the past Coleman has recommended that if there are flames when first lighting to just dial the valve back to a 1/4 open, the few seconds of flames are enough to warm up the generator and the mantles will light up correctly. Whenever you’re having trouble lighting a lantern, a good tip is to first warm up the generator with a match, lighter or even a small torch, it usually works like a charm.
@@niceyblasters1093 I bought one of these lanterns specifically for using unleaded gasoline as its so much cheaper than white gas... I've run it for hundreds of hours on gasoline with absolutely no problems.
Your description stated dual fuel, but obviously that is a dual mantle Colman lantern. If you could actually come up with a dual fuel lantern / propane / kerosene I'd be happy to watch your review.
@@niceyblasters1093 can you do a vid showing ht switch between the two fuels I'd like to see that. It's been quite a few years since I last purchased lantern mantles but I vaguely remember that there was a difference between the two types dependant on the fuel. I'm probably remembering wrong, but..... I'd still like to see a video of you switching between them. I've used a single mantel propane unit about 10 years ago, it's probably been closer to 20 years since I used a dual mantle kerosene model.

Did you know you sound like Garfield? Good video👍
It would be better if he spoke like Terence, with a full set of sound effects. The video would get more likes 😅

do you use the 500 c.p. or the 250 c.p. Petromax mantles

I have this one... I particularly like it because you can easily adjust the brightness... I have some older ones that don't easily dim...
Much more nicer spectrum than toxic led electromamagetic light
" They mean business when they have a warning sign attached like this " ...........LMAO... 🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆
damn correct
Cool,I'm looking to buy one of this lantern.
That’s neat. My dad gave me his 220k and I have a few other lanterns also.
Which others? You've got your old mans? Same here.

good tip, dude
Love watching youtube vids where the reviewer/host has zero idea what he's talking about
crabtrap ouch
me too like when I watch your channel....

@@sheild1117 Noted. Thanks!
It was dry and needed to prime.
How do you know when you’ve filled up the lantern? you need some air space in the fuel tank.
The funel stays full
Is not regular gasoline cheaper than any camp fuel? It's a dual fuel lantern by the way.
I heard the horror stories on how gas gums up generators
But it's a dual fuel lantern.
Natpha-White Gas is just a mix of gasoline and kerosene. Pump gasoline is fine. Doesn't foul the generator any more than can be cleaned seasonally.

It says Dual Fuel right on the box and lantern. Coleman calls it the Powerhouse® Dual Fuel™ Lantern

Dual fuel just means that you can use white gas (Coleman camp fuel) as well as pump gasoline.
Why can't you convert an old latten into a dual-fuel
I love a zippo
How long the lantern can lit?...8 hours?
That's what the box says
I like the older ones better it doesn't say made in China ANYWHERE
Strange how they pack them upside down.
For what they want for a new one you can buy a really nice vintage one that will increase in value rather than decrease.
I would put Vaseline on the pump assembly and threads and cap where you fill it
That disappointing they make the globe in China and the rest of the lantern in the USA
Not very American of them to do that, is it?
Breaks my heart.
