Is it ok to use a Mamod Mobile burner in a Wilesco traction engine or could this melt solder and cause damage?

You wouldn't be able to fit one in

Unless you make a purpose built holder... Meths should be fine to use, but do so at your own risk!

I think Erik blew a steam pipe out using meths, so be careful!

I use a Mamod vap burner in my 1978 Wilesco D45 (the upright one), and it runs like an absolute demon!

Forest sell wilesco meths burners, but these might just be for their stationaries...
