Pete, How about a Korean engine?
Seriously though, We have here in the middle of Europe similar problems. Some engines have "Ronson" valves, Regner has his valves type one and two. Some gas cans have a thread type A some a Type B and some are designed for camping stoves where a needle pierces the can and is sealed by a rubber casket and so on. So you remain true to one manufacturer of gas and one loco builder with possibly only two adapters! or you pays your money and you takes your choice. So without your collection of long, short, snap on or screw on adapters you may well wind up with a can of gas, an adapter and an engine, but with no way to get gas into the engine. I am busy changing my filler valves to the same type. One more parting shot Ronson valves come with the breather hole at the bottom or at the side just beneath the thread Also in two different threads. If you order a replacement valve you may find that you receive a valve with the vent at the side just below the thread to replace a valve with the vent at the bottom. You screw it in and find you cannot gas into the tank because the thread is more than 2 mm thick and covers the vent hole. Only you don't realize it at the time. They both look the same andthe breather is so small you hardly notice it. Now don't laugh but I have been told we have a European standards institute, who ensure that every thing is standardized!!! Have fun Pete! Regards, Bert in Austria.
