Good choice! I have one too.
Always wanted one as a kid (night fishing etc.) also bought a primus stove for the same reason.
Better alternatives nowadays but they are really good.

What model Tilley did you get?

I think mine is the same, lovely bit of kit. You can even brew a tea in an enameled mug on the top once its going.
Enjoy it. I have lots of spare mantles, I think I bought 30 because we were forever breaking them as kids.

Not sure if it's actually a 'Tilly' but I've had a similar lamp for 20 years that runs on unleaded, been used twice

Thanks for the interest, I'll have to look it out & check for details.
I used to use it when driving historic WW2 vehicles to France/Belgium & camping on site, I was a lot younger then
