Gasoline fuel for cutting torch

They import the chinese version. I've pulled the patent. It looks fairly simple. Save your pennies. Petrogen wants like $900 for it.

Coleman camping stoves has the gas generator pretty cheap. Then it's just figuring out tip orifice size.

Is it not coverted to gas before using? Maybe I'm missing something but using a carbon base fuel in liquid form would not be to practical for metal cutting.

Any website info you can steer me too for info?

The pressureized gas container would be the same as the Coleman gas generator. You add liquid fuel, apply pressure, get saturated vapor and use the vapor as the preheat gas or just like using acetylene.

Doing other research last night on H/o2, I stumbled into the flame temps, gasoline/oxy @ 5800*f or just about equal to acet/oxy at 5900*f.

Looks like I know what to do with that old camping stove I found a few years ago. Easy conversion with a cheap fuel supply.

I guess liquid gasoline would have it's place on thick hard steel but I still see it as impractical for general shop use. The higher flame temps would come from using liquid o2.

Search making your own rocket motors for flying rockets. They have some great design therory info available.

I really haven't given it much thought. First thought this morning is the gasoline condensing temperature. I wonder if thats why they vaporize in the torch head?

I'm in a hot climante so it may not effect me but what happens in a cold enviroment? Will the gas vapor condense in the hose?

I'm hoping it'll work something like the old acetylene gas generator did.

Something to look into when I get time.
