    Doesn’t the 118 come with a built-in pump?

    Is it a 117?

    @Litemygas

    Welcome to CPL. Apologies for my abrupt question — I got called away just as I started typing.

    If I’m correct, the 117 “slant” lamp has the filler cap/check valve with the fitting for the external pump; the 118 slant lamp has the integrated pump.

    Edit: It could be that the pump can’t be seen in the photos, and that the filler cap is not original. :-k

    It would be good to see any stamping (on the bottom of the tank).

    Nice lamp!

    Cheers

    Tony
