Coleman Peak 1 - 500 Series - What is the difference between gasoline and kerosene generator?

Good to know. Those measurements correspond nicely with what is found for gasoline/petrol vs kerosene jets on several other stoves.

 

Today I could continue my measurements. I used our digital-microscope with back- and top-light and x-y-backlight-table.

It seems that we have 2 sizes of holes in the nozzle:

a) for kerosene: 0,28 mm (with corresponding 0,23 mm wire)
b) for gasoline: 0,36 mm (with corresponding 0,30 mm wire)

(Please see pictures below)

 

Nice. Thank you.

 

Thank you. That is good information.

Cheers

Nicely done
The sizes are as expected for comparable kerosene and benzine fuels

I apologize for the necro post comment. I've had a Canadian made 550 for awhile that didn't come with the kero genny, the supply of them has dried up stateside. Has anyone used the jet ,if possible, off a kero lantern as a swap? I tried searching but most things that show up relate to a generator swap. Maybe the wire and jet of a 445 kero generator? Those are still available.
