1930´2 Hasag 351 L

Here my new Hasag 351 L with original box and funnel.
The lamp is in excellent condition and has the large Hasag-badge on the font.
I tried her with kerosene, but she works as well with petrol

 

Very nice lantern.

It's a beauty.

Serious, this lantern work with petrol?
I have one, from this lantern and i saw the vaporizer is a simply tube and i thonk that "maybe this is a petrol vaporizer?"

I got an advice, do'nt use the petrol in pressure lantern.

 

Nice. Especially the badge is rare to find in so good condition. GZ.

thank you gentlemen !

Hasah lanterns are usually designed to consume all kind of fuels.
i use mine with petrol and it works fine.

 

Would you tell me please, is the tank black, or RLM-70 Schwarzgrün?

I've got one yesterday (with black plastic wheel, not cardboard "supersaver" version).
The tank was covered with "secret antirust mixture" by previous owner.
I suspect it is (after closer look) -- a manure mixed with tar, or pig fat mixed with soot...

 

This may help. It seems to be saying that 351 and 551 are for kero only. ::Neil::

 

Hi

I think it says not to use leaded gasoline,

Bleibenzine = Leaded gasoline

Plombe = Lead

In the top illustration it says, "The use of leaded gasoline is forbidden" in German, French and Italian (I think...)

 

So not much help then. Probably means they can be run on benzine or kero. ::Neil::

 

Um, 'Benzin' is German for petrol/gasoline and 'benzene' (C6H6) is smelly, toxic, probably wouldn't vapourise and is carcinogenic into the bargain.

I'd stick with kero...

 

Ahhgg!!! Fuel names will drive you mad. I always use a naphtha for gasoline lamps which is panel wipe or WasBenzine or Coleman Fuel. Those HASAG lamps will probably run OK on unleaded though because they do have a nice fat generator but I expect they would need cleaning every once in a while. ::Neil::
