    Vielen Dank - Andy!

    I shall consider your recommendations and make another try for a functioning blowlamp.

    I will come back, probably during the week-end.

    Hi Andy, many thanks for your advice.

    I do have a nice and steady "straight beam" of fuel, and I will try to increase the pre-heating to see the effect of this.

    For my understanding: Which type of fuel gives the more heat, gasoline or kerosene?

    The video I have seen before, but I am quite a bit from getting a steady flame at all, so I could not directly make a reference to this.

    Do you know what nozzle goes to which type of fuel?

    Now I have tried the follwing:

    A mixture kerosene:gasoline of 1:1 - no positive result.

    Pure gasoline - no positive result.

    It loses the flame immediately in both cases.

    I am able to keep a flame if I hold an "igniting flame" (butane gas or other) close to the nozzle.

    My nozzle is 0,5 mm. Is that the right size?

    I have tried with little pressure and I have tried with more pressure in the

    I don't understand why. I am out of ideas.

    Yes, you are right, it was a diffuse description.

    Kerosene, also known as paraffin, lamp oil, and coal oil.

    To be more exact - I am using CAS-number: 64742-48-9.

    Do I need heavier or lighter fuel, do you think?

    I am using kerosene, as I think the burner is made for that.

    For preheating I use a set of double (2 times) amount, as it looks as if the temperature is too low for proper "ignition".
