Lister Junior B Paraffin

Hi All was wondering if someone could help me out.....?

I have two Lister Junior engines I am currently busy with, one is a B type tank cooled the other BK type Hopper cooled.
Both engines have Paraffin carbs on and my question is if one can run the engine on Petrol through the Paraffin carbs???

Any help would be ideal

Thanks
Rudi

Hello Rudi,

You have a good question - I don't have a lister DK but a friend was asking the same question some years ago... I found the following link to be of good use... showing a one piece fuel tank - not the usual two piece tank - which do you have?

I run all my paraffin listers (b tank cooled and a lister m hopper cooled) using there paraffin carbs no problem .paraffin is ok but soon dilutes the engine oil

Hi Stewart, the one has a one piece tank and the other never had one.
I have already made a new one out of sheet metal for the one and am going to use an old tank I have for the hopper engine.

Thanks Oliver! I am sure to try it first and see how it works!
