Filling The Butane Gas Tank
Adding the butane gas is easy. At the front of the tender, you’ll notice a small valve. This
is the place where the butane can is applied to fill the 150-milliliter butane gas tank. Just
align the valves, press the can down, and hold.
Fill using the stem valve on the tender and do not YET open the butane flow valve. Insert
the hose’s nozzle from the tender into the locomotive’s boiler
(See. fig. #14) . Screw the
nozzle into the loco, so it does not separate accidentally. WARNING!! DO NOT FILL
WHILE SMOKING OR NEAR A FLAME!
Well, the water is loaded, and the next thing we need to do is put in the butane gas. But
where does it go? On a Live Steam Mikado from Aristo-Craft, the butane gas goes in the
tender.
WARNING! Butane is an extremely flammable gas. The content of the
can is under pressure and the vapors are harmful. Read warnings on
the back panel of your can before use. Do not fill your gas tender
around any open flame or while smoking. Use only Butane gas for
cigarette lighters found at most drugstores or general stores.
DO NOT
USE PROPANE OR PROPANE & BUTANE MIXTURES AS THE TANK
HAS BEEN PRESET FOR BUTANE ONLY!

Connecting butane hose into the locomotive boiler
There is an enclosed and hidden water well surrounding the butane tank and this must
be filled with warm water to help rapidly vaporize the butane. Please do not use boiling
water, but rather bathtub temperature water.
