[Stoves] Can anyone identify the manufacturer of this stove?

Fri Jul 10 19:54:15 CDT 2020

Thanks Robert

That is my experience: I have seen “petrol” given as the name for “diesel oil”.  In Kinshasa they say “oil” for (I think) “diesel”.  Maybe that’s where the “oil” part comes from: diesel oil.  L’uile de diesel?

A direct translation of diesel into French is “pétrole".

So the story is that the stove in the photo is a kerosene stove, but due to the unavailability of fuel, it is used with “pétrole" which was repeated to me as “petrol” which is gasoline, which is very unlikely, to say the least.

I think the mystery is solved.

Thanks everyone

I don't know about the DRC but (to my understanding) in France "pétrole" usually means petroleum (crude oil) but can also be short for "pétrole lampant" ("lamp oil") which is kerosene (specifically, the lighter grade of kerosene as used for lanterns). "Essence" is gasoline and "gazole" (formerly "gas-oil") is diesel.

In UK English "petrol" means gasoline and "paraffin" means kerosene.

Greetings friends

Now that we have a name – Nutan Stove – does anyone have any performance data on this?

I have a report that this stove was being used with “petrol” which I think in English means “diesel”, while gasoline is called “essence”.   It was recorded as a “kerosene stove” that due to absence of fuel, was being operated with “petrol” which I think is diesel.

Does anyone have experience operating a kerosene stove with diesel? I have never tried it as kerosene is so common and almost invariably cheaper.

Thanks

My goodness, well spotted.

It looks as if it has more components than a Panda or similar.  The wick is a C-shape, correct?

Can I get a photo of one from somewhere?

This was spotted in Kinshasa, DRC. Is it possible they are still for sale?

Thanks

This looks like an old Nutan Stove developed in early 1960s by Indian Institute of Petroleum and was manufactured by various companies in India. Before LPG came this was the most popular stove in India.

This is a wick-type kerosene stove with several features, none common.  It is not a bottom of the line product.  There is a little of the label still visible, and the pot rest is distinctive.

An ideas?  A Google photo matching effort failed to find anything even similar.

Thanks
