[QUOTE="2busy, post: 3896870, member: 12213"] It is best if you're able to buy in person so you can inspect the overall condition. Especially for pinholes in the tank. It is not advised to fix pinholes in a tank that will be under pressure . You don't want a fuel leak with gas spewing out especially while in use. Dirt dauber and spiders like to make the air tubes in lanterns their home while stored. Pump gas makes a nasty mess in the tanks when left for extended time. White gas doesn't. Garage sale/ flea market , estate sales are good places to buy used. If the globe is broken factor the price of a replacement in. Usually a new cap seal will be need if the lantern or stove has any age. Leather pump cups are best for cold weather. The plastic ones get cold and don't seal well. Plus as was mentioned, motor oil works in a pinch for the leather pump cup to get it pliable again. [/QUOTE]
