    Hi fellas, I have an OL51 donut lantern,
    How do you pump air into the tank?
    New to me, I’ve seen them but what do you use. Looks like the older style bike valve before they made the like on a car tyre.
    Any information much appreciated IMG_2314.jpeg IMG_2280.jpeg

    Hello Darryl, the image below shows the type of hose which is required and it also fits a Woods valve / Dunlop valve and a Presta valve.

    Hi fellas again. A bit of advice and information. Where the feed tube screws into the tank . Is the seal a lead seal? I did scratch it, it looks a bit shiny. Not wanting to damage what’s there.

    Yes, it's the same type of seal as is used in a Tilley wall lamp.

    Hi fellas, update on my pump.
    I went to my local bike shop, the fella said he hadn’t seen any thing like that for a very long time. I showed him the post about what valve, he comes back I have this, as it turns out it’s just what I needed. Now I can pump it up . Now my lantern is showing off.
    It’s very cool.
