Camping stove on external tank

[badgerfax]

I've got a nice new 8m hose and the appropriate connector for the Westy tank, Now i'm looking for a 2 burner camping stove so we can have the flexibility of cooking a fry-up in the awning.

My nice old Tilley Talisman wont work as it's an old style straight off the bottle type that uses high pressure.

Now from what I have read the westy regulator is a slightly higher pressure than a normal butane type.
If I was to buy a new stove like a caminggaz (ideally I'd like another old regulator type tilley) Would it work with the higher pressure and if so what difference would it make to the flame?

Most of the Westy owners on here are doing just as you say....I'm running a Cadac Easy Chef Deluxe straight off the LPG tank via the tanks own 50Mbar regulator. I asked exactly the same question 4 years ago with very little feedback. All I can say is: I know of three Westy owners doing the same and none have any problems. I even ran my Cadac side by side (not at the same you understand) using a separate bottle and regulator and then the Westy tank and noticed not discernible difference in the flame intensity or colour.
Yes..in theory the slightly higher gas pressure should give a larger perhaps less defined gas jet but it doesn't on mine.
The only reason I can put this down to is the long (5 metre) hose that I use might be affecting the pressure a little.

Thanks for your advice Martin, Will be putting a bid on a nice low pressure Tilley on Ebay that would go well with the van.

Shame I can't use my old one though as I like the beat up look of it
