Hi folks, this is my first post so be gentle with me
I recently bought this Hipolito for XXX. Please NO prices her ein the forum Eugen j.Keusen - the friendly mod
I've been reading around and finding out as much as I can about pressure lanterns and the Hipolto/Petromax as, although I've used pressure stoves in the past this is my first lantern. I had planned to strip it down and clean and refurb but on further inspection, the pump does seem to be holding pressure ok. Now I'm wondering if I should just stick some fuel in it, a new mantle and see what happens?? Is that a good idea or should I clean and strip it just to be on the safe side??
Many thanks in advance for any advice
