MY TURD LIVES!!! Thanks to all who posted and explained how the Coleman gas lanterns work. I always just thought that it was simply operated by pressure alone = pump it up, the pressure forces the vapor up and out.
It all makes sense now..... pressure pushes it up through the generator, the globes heat the generator and cause the liquid fuel to vaporize and turn to a gaseous state
so that it may be harnessed / contained within the cavity of the globes for combustion thus producing a brilliant glow.
Just never gave it much thought before.
The "Flame up" in the beginning is just the raw fuel burning until the generator is heated to the proper temperature to vaporize the liquid.
Got it!
My Turd doesn't seem to be as bright as a 220 though, but that's OK.
Anysomeway, here's a couple of shots with my live Turd in action and another showing a sleeping Turd.
