Vaporstat
Honeywell L408J1009 Vaporstat (non-mercury) 0-16 oz. (4-16oz. subtractive differential). I set mine at 16 oz. with an 8 oz. differential.
The old mercury Vaporstats are no longer made although you might find some still on someone's shelf.
And here is a discussion about some problems with the non-mercury Vaporstats:
