FAQ & Warranty Info
How it Works
Fuel
The V9 uses gasoline or a gasoline/diesel mixture as it’s fuel source. This fuel is poured into the fuel tank located in the body of the flamethrower. No need to mess with co2 bottles, the fuel is not pressurized it is pump.
Battery
The Vulcan V9 flamethrower is electric, but it’s no toy! The V9 operates on the Milwaukee M12 LI-Ion rechargable drill battery. You don’t have to worry about over charging or discharging your battery and ruining your battery. The Milwaukee M12 battery has built in technology which will not allow you to mess it up. So in other words, use it drain it, recharge it!
Pilot Torch
The pilot flame is provided by a high quality isobutane camping burner. These burners are light weight and provide a large flame for the fuel to pass through. The pilot torch is ignited by a small piezo igniter similar to a gas grill.
Pump
The fuel tank is full a fully charged battery has been installed and the pilot torch is lit. Press the on button and small led light on the switch indicates its on. With every press of the trigger button located on top of the handle. A powerful electric pump is active which pumps fuel from the fuel tank and emits the fuel with great pressure out of the nozzle at the end of the barrel. This fuel stream passes through the pilot flame igniting the fuel.

There are Two Exceptions: (as of the writing of this)
