"PETROMAX" lanterns were designed and developed by Adolf & Max Graetz, who were appointed managing directors of their family business (Ehrich & Graetz) in 1889.  From their efforts arose the most powerful & reliable lanterns in the world. These lanterns now have the distinction of being the safest lantern in the world by "Consumer Reports".  Petromax lanterns run on a variety of fuels - kerosene, alcohol-based fuels, mineral spirits, citronella oil, gasoline, diesel oil, vegetable oil & almost every flammable fuel available on the market which make this lantern #1 for Emergency Preparedness.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
&
More Info !!!

Remove gauge (#149), and insert directly into tank (#118). No need to remove. !!!! Made in the USA !!!!
Prevents deterioration (as per Fitch) of fuel, and eliminates odor. Rejuvenates old/stored fuel, prevents waste.
Basically, just one (1) catalyst should last the lifetime of the lantern (approx. 5,000 hrs of lantern use).

For 500CP, 350CP, 250CP, and 150CP (one size fits all of the Petromax generation lanterns - Aida, Hipolito, Geniol, Petromax, & BriteLyt).

Using the same unit (2-tablet system in nylon mesh, in all three (3) periods of testing:
1. Lantern ran a 10% brighter.
2. Cleaner burn, around the mantle (glass did not fog up or build up).
3. Lantern seems to run longer, even after the first initial start-up (pump-up).
4. Did not have to add pressure to the lantern as often.
5. Lantern seems to run cleaner & no “pulsating” was observed.
6. Fuel Efficiency Increase: 1-Quart of fuel ran 1 - 2 hours longer, than normal (500 cp)
7. Shorter preheating time (approx. 20%).
(On-going test results, will be posted later), and, so far, with positive results.
Overall, I would recommend this product to be used in the lanterns. The testing was based on approx. 3-week periods of testing the lantern, during fishing trips, at 8-hr and 12-hr. intervals. Used fuel catalyst in old fishing lantern, with excellent results. Tested, using gasoline. Kerosene & other oil-fuel testing results will be posted later. If the catalyst is put in the gas gas can, then the fuel put into the lantern (or motorcycle, lawn mower etc) it should be used within 24 hours.

Makes your lantern burn much BRIGHTER and more FUEL EFFICIENT
New version, all polished stainless steel

THE MILITARY LOVES THESE. It's really a must have because some of our customers break their ceramic ones when replacing mantle by setting the top down too hard onto the floor and they break. So they really are a necessity in any survival situation when a nozzle can't be bought.

Part 500CPSN, Made of Stainless Steel, fits all generations of 500CP and 350CP lanterns. Replaces the ceramic nozzle part number #3. !!! All High Grade Stainless no coating !!!! Polished Stainless !!! No Magnet will stick to this nozzle !!!

Benefits:

• Stronger than standard ceramic #3
  
• Doesn’t loosen up, like regular ceramic piece
  
• Provides shorter pre-heating time
  
• Cleaner mantle-burn with oil-based fuels
  
• A bright burn to the mantle with gas fuels not a yellow look cleans up mantle on all fuels
  
• With EZ-Cook attachment, this stainless nozzle increases cooking performance, especially in higher altitudes. (Tested in High Sierra’s)
  
• increases fuel efficiency of lantern
• VERY BRIGHT, the fule burns more completly and gives off a much brighter light!!!
