If you do go with a 75 and a BIX burner, you’ll have to remove the fuel tray holder, but that’s easy enough to do and can always be put back to original.

I believe Nick comment that I should have gone for Wilesco D24 rather than the D20 I have coming....am I correct in thinking these are the same engine/boiler with the steam gauge and oiler mounted in a little control house vs the gage is on the boiler and the oiler on cyl in D20....with all other specs the same other than that?

I have never owned a D20, but I would be very happy to have one coming if I were you. Got any pictures of what you have on the way? From the specs on their website, it looks like the D24 hold 70cc’s more water and has a slightly larger baseplate. Can’t find specs on the engine itself...

I will try to post a short video of the actual D20 I have coming! From my research the flywheels on D24 and D20 are same size....I can not find any specs on bore and stroke difference.
  On a side note I have an email in to the folks that make BIX burners, I asked them to quote me a setup to fire the following engines:
Wilesco D20
Jensen 75
Wilesco D10
I am hopeful this could be 2 burner sizes plus one tank/hose and filling needle...could someone tell my the brand of fuel canisters I would require that would be available in USA?

That is Scott’s (oilfield_steam) beauty of a D20 😍

I burn the butane/propane cans from the camping section of Wall-mart or any sporting good stores.

I use the 4 season mix on the right for outdoor winter steaming, but it does cost more. You do not need to buy a BIX tank, you can buy a gas can valve that screws onto the disposable cans.

Yes, I am Very pleased to get the older model D20 in such nice condition...I will treasure it and run it with much care!
That is great info on the fuel tanks, those are not huge and I would be happy running right out of a tank that size...thank you for posting this information!

You should be, it´s a beaut...and a very nice runner on top  :)

The only difference between the D20 and the D24, besides the obvious visual ones, is the D24´s 70ml larger and silversoldered boiler.
Apart from the D22 which carries two Wilesco D10 cylinders with 9mm bore/16mm stroke, every horisontal stationary Wilesco from D16 and upwards, has a 13mm bore/16mm stroke engine.

It's interesting that Wilesco upgrades the solder to silver on the larger and more expensive engines....that is great info on the bore and stroke of Wilesco...thanks for sharing!

Their brazing jobs with complete lack of pickling/cleaning looks pretty bad, so i guess that why they´ve chosen to solely silversolder cladded boiler engines.
Much easier to buff away excess soft solder before chroming  8)

New D24 boiler:

Nick - curious, you said a few bucks more... what would you say are the going rates for both used and new D24s?  I've always thought they were quite a bit more than a D20.

Thanks


A good D24 can be found in the $200 range, but not many in the past year... There has been a beauty on ebay for $500, while I feel it’s overpriced, it’s still cheaper than a new one.



The one at $500 looks like new, older model and electric!  Been watching, it was previously listed at bid starting at $499 , no bids

I've been watching it as well , defies logic , doesn't sell for $499 so lets raise the price ?
There was a decent D24 on marketplace for $200 , I was haggling with the guy , he wanted a fortune to ship it from 3 hrs away ,didnt snag it.
