Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

In 1913 an incandescent gas mantle operated by vaporised kerosene was installed, raising the power to 64,000 cd.

en.wikipedia.org

The flame ran on kerosene at first, and was updated with a gas mantle light in 1908.

en.wikipedia.org

Although town gas lighting was available in some cities, kerosene produced a brighter light until the invention of the gas mantle.
