I just want to comment to follow this thread. I have both types in garage and will work on them one of these days. The 513-700 and another one that is bigger or smaller than the one shown.

Duke4857

Looks like a keeper!

Duke4857

Thank you all for your input.

Duke4857

I like it!

OCP has these.

Thank you!

Duke4857

I need a bail for my 242B. Anyone what one will replace it? Should I just experiment and post results? If I had a pattern I could make one.

Duke4857

I was just thinking has or does anyone ever mixed unleaded gas and Colman fuel. It would cut down on the cost of coleman fuel.

Duke4857

I have 2 or 3 of propane lanterns also. 1 brown and 2 green ones. They work well. I put one on a tank tree when boondocking. I also have one in the shed when I work out there. The other is in a box in garage.

The storm last night only gave us half of a inch of new snow on our side of town. We did get high winds. Weather man still gives us a winter storm warning until late this afternoon.
Thank you all for your comments.
It was fun!

Duke4857

I have a 413C. It has a round tank about the same color. I just clear coated the tank to keep any more rust from forming. It does not look too bad. Pics can be found in my collection.

Duke4857

The winter storm warning says, 3 to 7 inches of snow. 40 to 60 mile a hour winds. We will see!

Right now snow, more 2" today and high winds, not close to what they predict. So far.

Duke4857

I think the drink added a extra touch, and it did evaporate. It must have been the heat from the lanterns.

Hi from Southern Oregon.

I like that. A very nice addition to a awesome collection.

Maybe this will put a slow down on the drought around the nation. I haven't looked at the snow pack in the mountains around here. We are at 4200 feet and are supposed to get 4" to 8" inches today. I just this fills the empty lakes and keeps the forest fires from starting. We are getting a lot of bur...

I have the refillable FlameKing one pound tanks. They work well with a conversion when you do not have a tank for coleman stove.

Duke4857

if you remove your burner tubes and caps with pliers as many do, you will distort them. Make them out of round. Even if they screw into the caps effortlessly, they will be out of round and leak right through the top of the cap. It's hard but if you look carefully you can see it when the lantern is ...

Very nice, you have great skills.

No no no . . . All of you ignorant mouthbreathers and superstitious types with your sky gods. The observable universe is easily explainable to anybody with a mere modicum of Scientific understanding.

I would like to find one of like kind to add to this display.

Not any more, but I've had a couple of Rolls Canhardlys in my life.

Yesterday was my birthday. I've been holding back on buying lanterns, sort of, I got too many and several that need work. Well my wife makes me close my eyes and hold out my hands and this is what she hands me. https://i.postimg.cc/jSSJnsZG/69247547388-244-E37-E8-98-CC-485-A-9-BE4-C53567617-CAC.jpg...

I started looking for a part I ordered from OCF today. Email said it was put on the front porch on the 23. I looked all over. Looking at the invoice I discovered I typed in the wrong house address. I left a note on the door and they brought the package to me. Thank you for honest neighbors. All work...

Just restoring a Schaub Lorenz 6 band radio from the 60s. I still have to hear the hype about a radio that seems to have a cult following for sound and reception. Poor radio was in a sorry state and mangled with botched attempts to repair by a previous owner. https://i.postimg.cc/G2RcPWmK/166956002...

Robert I just hung one (with a back) very similar in the rafters

My garage is a lot different than the shed. Very different story there. A two car garage with no cars in it. Just stuff.

Cleaned out the shed to make room to work on Coleman stuff. I have a 426B to strip and repaint.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Do you know why a fire engine is red? If someone pulled your hose, you would turn red too. Brother told that one at dinner table when he was in second grade. I was in third grade.

Why does Norway and Sweden put bar codes on their ships?

So when the ships return they can Scandinavian.

Is it dinner time yet?

This thread was talking about a air compresser. This is a 200 hp rotary screw compresser. It runs things like pic two. It is too small so we also run a 50 hp of same kind.

Duke4857

Just searched the forum to answer the, "shelf life question." I think you all have answered it. I have some old fuel in the garage. I will try it one of these days. One can has never been opened.

Duke4857

All are nice! Thanks for sharing.

That is about when the lovely lady said it showed at her house. In the 70's.

These are from my wife's mother. We got them when mom lived with us for several years.

If you try to fill it stand away and only fill it part full for a few times. Empty propane Cylinders rust from the inside out. The moisture from propane will rust it.

To keep from melting the solder, put a wet rag on the solder, than heat the part. The wet rag will keep the solder from melting. That is the way it was done on the copper radiators to resolder the water necks without unsoldering the tank from the core. A small part like a fuel tank lid you should be...
