Some can. But most are designed for paraffin.
Petrol will go BANG
If you use it in a paraffin one.

Yes they all work and I have one which I use every time I need a blowlamp, most are kept clean though.
two of mine will only work with petrol, the rest run on paraffin, derv, heating oil, whatever really apart from petrol.

Just the one from the upper photo was there when I saw it. By the way, greetings from over the hill near Treorchy.

A new sim racing wheel sold my 2nd one to appease the wife when I bought my first lathe. First one I sold before leaving jersey
Just tested and found its already had the brake modded pot removed and pressure sensor fitted saved me a job

Hey there fella. I get to go through Treorchy during the summer months on the bike when I'm heading out towards Aberdare and Brecon.Just the one from the upper photo was there when I saw it. By the way, greetings from over the hill near Treorchy.
Cheers for the heads up on the torch, the polished one was £15.99 though, not sure if that's the going rate for a large polished one. I only picked it up as I'm probably gonna build a Burner Light a bit like the one below. Not sure yet, depends how nice it is once cleaned up. I may just keep it as is.
My mate has done a few and sold them on line. He reckons if you mix flour/salt/white vinegar and a bit of water you can make a paste which you smother on and leave for 24 hours and it comes up very good.

YET!
I could visit again and find the best price for you and some better pics. Let me know. So long as you cover the cost of purchase and post I have no issue with my time dude.
Bid on a few slip gauge sets for the lathe/mill and also had a couple of other bits which went for peanuts so would be rude not to take them.
First up C E Johanson comparator stand with a Mitutoyo dial gauge that reads to .001mm or 1/2 of a tenth!
And a Diaform wheel grinder attachment - used for forming wheels for a surface grinder apparently, no use whatsoever to me but was such a well kept bit of kit in original box etc seemed a shame to scrap it
Cheers

A very heavy duty sack truck fitted with aeroplane wheels.
An old metal tool box.
Most of the contents was the usual mixture of old screws, bolts & stuff you find in any tradesmans tool box.
8 metres of chain.
Stud extractor, allen keys, drill bits, taps, punches, pulley wheels, old screwdrivers & a 4ba nut spinner.
A well built right angle drill adapter, just have to figure out how to attach a chuck.
But there was one item that I spotted in the box, a very expensive item that nobody else must have known what it was worth, otherwise it would have cost me more than the £6 I paid!
Can you guess what it was?

HaHa, my Wife and I have probably waved you past as we were "slowly" going up the Rhigos road.
That's a neat idea for a lamp. In the past, I've made a couple up from old brass fire extinguishers, and also discarded concrete coreing plugs, which are cut out of the decks of high-rise buildings to provide for internal pipe chases. The cores have a pilot hole drilled in them for a long bolt to prevent the heavy plug from dropping and doing damage below, so its easy to wire as a lamp. The core cutter leaves a smooth outside finish, and when sprayed with a clear finish the cut aggregates look fantastic. It's amazing what you can make lamps out of.
Soaking items in apple cider vinegar works wonders on brass also, even on items which look so corroded that you would think unsalvageable; brings them back looking like gold.

Yours looks slightly different to the one I had. The type which had used a click lock type mechanism turned by hand. It jammed, and I had a terrible time removing the 9" disk after cutting a bunch of breezeblocks. The type you have looks like a pin spanner can also be used on it, but I only see one hole.

This one has this flick up piece to open it and it has 2 holes for a spanner to be used also. My big gripe with it is the large diameter means it cant be used with some brands of flap disc.
Its 49mm in diameter but the flat section for the nut to sit against on some of the flap discs i have is only about 40mm so if you thightened this down it would be trying to flatten the dish out of the disc.
