Thanks for the video. Good job replacing mantles outdoors and standing up wind of the procedure. FYI, Whether the mantles are made with thorium or yytrium, you do not want to be breathing that dust. They both can cause heavy lung damage. When tying on new mantles, put the flat side towards the generator. The Peerless brand of mantles could either be thorium or yytrium, they are marked with a T or a Y on the packaging. After the lantern has cooled down, and you are putting it away for a while, spray the mantles with hairspray to help keep them from falling apart in transport and storage. It will burn off the next time you use it. If you use regular old E10 gasoline, be sure to drain the ethanol/gasoline after every trip, the ethanol can cause major damage while in storage. If you use ethanol free fuel it'll last a little while longer, but the coleman white gas is the safest and will last the longest in storage.
I’ve always had them shrink smaller than normal when they aren’t burned properly before starting the lantern. Having 35 lanterns I need cheap mantles. I save the heavy duty Coleman mantles and peerless for my camping lanterns.
Those old mantles set off my Geiger counter pretty good. I think the thing to remember is, not to breath the dust from the old burned out mantles. (If you had any in a old lantern or old stock) Thumbs up !
Come on... Don't be such a snowflake. They've been used for 100 years through decades where they were used much more than today. No one has even been harmed.
@@dontblameme6328 Who are you calling Snowflake Dickhead? and if you think breathing the dust from the thorium mantles is okay, it shows your lack of knowledge on the topic. Don't you think it's kind of strange that they don't make them anymore with thorium on them. Have a good day
I have a question, I have never operated a gas lantern, but purchased an old Colman lantern. I purchased kerosene, but noticed that you used gasoline. I honestly don’t know and this is the first video that I have watched, but can I use kerosene, diesel, and I guess it’s okay to use gasoline. Can I mix the fuels? I have diesel stored in semi trucks and would like to use that fuel for emergencies. I also want to buy a Colman camp stove, and wondered if I can use multi fuels there. I am subscribing.
hi! i think i can help, as far as i know, diesel wouldnt work in a lantern like this, nor would kerosene. theres special lanterns for that fuel. whats ment to be used is coleman fuel, also known as white gas, or naptha. All coleman fuel is, is normal gasoline, just with all the additives and dyes removed, so i like to call it pure gas, but thats just my own opinion. I also think its fine to run normal, ethanol free gas, but you gotta make sure not to leave it, or store the lantern with the regular gas inside.
@@explosevgamr5349 would regular automotive gasoline work the lamp? I have seen videos that suggest that. I just don’t know. I have a large amount of diesel fuel and a gallon of kerosene.
I think you'd better call Coleman and identify which kind of lantern or stoves you've got. I have a kerosene lantern and a dual fuel lantern. They are not the same. You need to check the model number.
@jonathanking6546 there are three main types of pressure lanterns. Kerosene is a different lantern with a different mechanism from White Gas lanterns. Propane has its own pressure and it is also a pressure lamp. All three are made by Coleman. You need the model number so yoy can look it up. "White Gas" is just unleaded fuel as far as I know. You don't want to breath the leaded fumes. It is a good point to buy the alcohol free gasoline I suppose, but either way, it's probably best not to store the lantern with fuel in it. Gasoline and diesel have different flashpoints, as does kerosene. That's why Colrman makes a different type for kerosene from gas.
Death from radio active mantles is true it got the best of grandad and he only made it to 92. Just think how much longer he would have lived if he never messed with those things.
MIGHT NEED TO JUST ADD A COUPLE OF DROPS OF OIL TO THE PUMP OR SIMPLY REPLACE IT IF IT'S GETTING OLD. COLEMAN SELLS NEW ONES BUT THEY DO NEED TO BE OILED OCCASIONALLY.
I have a buddy that just puts them on, puts the globe on and lights it like normal. Gives off a big poof and then kinda looks like a fireball for a minute or two, then settles down. He's been doing that for the 30+ years I've been going camping with him.....I still do it the right way though.
I just got my first lantern used. Seems to work. Waiting for replacement globe broken in transport. Been wondering for years why some people burn the mantles with fuel on. I've also seen people puff out the mantles evenly with a finger before installing, Work them with 4 evenly spaced loose folds, and just slop them on with no arranging. With fuel, or sloppy seems to work worst as the mantles break while burning. Puffed out seems to have irregular hot, and cold spots. Too far from the flame I suppose. Loose folds have evenly spaced hot, and cold. Maybe some intermediate not too puffed, and very loose folds. Been wondering what leaving the old mantles on or putting the old pieces in the new bag would do for performance.
Before you light the mantles, you are supposed to open the valve quickly, to release a puff of fluid/mist/gas, as this act, expands the mantle to its optimal position. Not doing so, gives you a very uneven light & look to the mantles when not lit, meaning they have a higher chance of falling apart when ash than without expanding them to an almost spherical shape before lighting.
Light a fire, create some carbon, and you have some radioactive material. That is how you can carbon date materials from charcoal. There are a lot of differences in radioactive materials and which ones will kill you with an exposure…none of these exposures are going to kill anyone.
As far as I remember, you are supposed to have the globe on when you "burn in" the mantles. Maybe that's why you're getting too much oxygen on the strings. Doing it without fuel ensures a complete and even burn, but if you're in a hurry, and you have extra mantles, it's likely not very important. They may wear out faster, or break easier. I need to read the directions again. 🤦♂️ OK, yeah if you're going to skip the step, it might work better with the globe in place. I have a bunch of cheap chinese mantles to try it out with. 🤷♂️
Hey chief, obligatory safety goober here: you might consider putting your containers on the ground when you fill them with gasoline. People look better with eyebrows. Just my $0.02 Cheers!

@@johnwyman6126 how long mantles lasts?
Was just gifted a Dual fuel Powerhouse, getting ready to clean it inside and out been sitting awhile. Looking forward to using it.
Thank you for showing the mantles being lit without the globe!

I just bought peerless mantles they are still coated with thorium

They do make them with thorium just not in the usa
I like thorium. I get a good bright smile when I brush my teeth.
My understanding is they quit using Thorium for the safety of the people actually making the mantles who handle the mantles every day.

How long does it work until you pump it again? Mine doesn't last long.
MIGHT NEED TO JUST ADD A COUPLE OF DROPS OF OIL TO THE PUMP OR SIMPLY REPLACE IT IF IT'S GETTING OLD. COLEMAN SELLS NEW ONES BUT THEY DO NEED TO BE OILED OCCASIONALLY.
You have a leak somewhere.
When the tank is full you have to pump it more often (less space for air). I usually pump them about every hour.
Are the seals good? Maybe a little vaseline on the gaskets would help.

The globe is the key. They might get a little uneven strength though.
How do you debunk burning the mantels when you burnt the mantles???

🤯
I’ve always just lit them without the pre-burn. No issues
I tried this method with my propane lantern. Burned one mantle to a cinder
I say again, it's better to have the globe in place.
I always put fuel to the mantles before lightning when new. Always works.
Yeah, that’s what I did. (Propane) flamed up a ruckus but luckily the glass didn’t break.
SEEMS PRETTY LAME TO DO IT LIKE THAT SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY PARTIALLY BURNING THEM. COULD BE DANGEROUS TOO.
Looks like your caps lock key is stuck, you can Google for how to unstick keys

Dude is standing in sunlight. 😱☢️☠️
I need the shield
I have never "Burned them in" I replace them turn the gas on and light them..never had a problem..
Do you put the globe back on first?
Never heard of a 298

If you are putting pump gas . Try to get ethanol free.
It doesn't matter if you use them and keep it fresh.
