I am attaching the pdf files from Knight.
Yeah, I know Knight says those numbers, but they aren't accurate. The Bullet and Hellcat are the same torch (words from the mouth of a Carlisle representative), so should be very similar in consumption. Same with the Mini CC/Little Dragon (again, from a Carlisle rep).

I believe their numbers are how much gas passes through them when the valve is wide open. I put my Little Dragon on a flowbench and tested it and got similar numbers. The flowbench doesn't belong to me or I'd use it to test all the torches I have.
