Gas conversion for refrigerator
A kerosene refrigerator can easily be converted to work on bottled gas. The operating costs will be a little more after con version, but the advantages, especially the lessened fire danger, are worth the extra cost.
And there are no wicks to trim!
The parts required for the conversion are a burner, a thermostat, a low pressure governor, a valve which shuts off the gas if the flame blows out, and a control cock. These are available as a kit from Porta gas Pty. Ltd., 711 George Street, Sydney. Fitting instruc tions go with the kit, but quote make, model and size of the refrigerator when ordering.
